Marx/Engels quotes arguing against the right-wing stereotype of "Marxism"
Elijah Moore
Jackson Flores
Where are those quotes from?
Eli Wright
First one is an announcement made by the Communist League after they elected Marx a leader
marxists.org
Second one is from a letter Engels wrote critiquing a draft of the political programme the SAPD/SDAP during the merge of the two:

Thanks OP, everytime some reactionary or liberals claims that communism will blend us all into the same homogeneous mass I will show them this
Josiah Barnes
Literally all of the Critique of the Gotha Program. They have no idea what Marxism even is.
Logan Flores
if you really think a "CULTURAL MARXISM NO FREEDOMS" shouting right winger has the brain power to even understand the grammar in that quote let alone the nuances and meaning then lol
Jeremiah Cooper
if you actually study marxism-leninism you will know ☭TANKIE☭s want real freedom.
the freedom from exploitation, dictatorship of the proletariat and full communism is true freedom in every sense of the word

Hunter Roberts
But I havn't posted in this thread.
Is there a joke I'm missing out on?
Daniel Richardson
this is one of those things taken too far out of context and doesn't conflict with anything Marx said
just like OPs quotes the context is important, it doesn't suddenly undo anything else he wrote about class struggle

So, strictly speaking, your first quote is not from Marx/Engels. Also, Draper doesn't provide the source for that quote (who exactly said that) and no other sources verify it upon a google search – the term "liberty" is indubitably American, alarmingly so: not associated with Europe in general at that time, Marx's milieu, or Marxism.
Your second quote is a good one, though mostly useful at critiquing liberals.

Who wrote what in the name of the Communist League was secondary, because publications in the name of the League had to be approved by a group that included Marx so had to be within the spirit of the league. The Manifesto was written under similar circumstances. But sure, not strictly his quote, although it reflects his ideas.
As it says in any of those, it's from the Kommunistische Zeitschrift, a journal published in 1847 by the league with only one issue.
A simple search on the pdf file for 6th volume of the collected works, which cover the period between 1845 and 1848, has the word used almost a hundred times, mostly in a political context.
Be better at research man.

Joking aside, great progress was evident in the last Congress of the American "Labour Union" in that among other things, it treated working women with complete equality. While in this respect the English, and still more the gallant French, are burdened with a spirit of narrow-mindedness. Anybody who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine ferment. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex (the ugly ones included).
Thomas Carter
That's right. Native German speaker here. There is no directly corresponding word for the concept of liberty in German. The closest we have is Flugzeugsexplosionsüberraschungstannenbaumrektalpfählung, meaning to be rectally impaled by a fir tree as a surprising consequence of your plane exploding, but alas, planes didn't exist back in the day of Marx.
