the quote “Accuse your enemy of what you are doing, as you are doing it, to create confusion” ***is often misattributed to Karl Marx.*** However, there is no evidence that Marx ever wrote or said these exact words.
The quote appears to have been used by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister, in a speech at the 1934 Nuremberg Rally. Goebbels stated, “The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the War was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing.”
Additionally, the quote has been attributed to Saul Alinsky, an American community organizer and author, who wrote about the tactic of accusing one’s opponent of what only they are doing, as a way to create confusion and cloud the issue.
