Now, if you had said communism, you might sort of have a point, although communism itself isn't really a philosophy either, it's actually an ideology though the context of what you are saying may be applicable to it.Please point me to the volumes of Marx's reproducible experimentation. One does not become a self-proclaimed scientist merely because they hate philosophers.
I would accept Popper's characterization of Marx/Engels as pseudoscience. "Historicism" is unscientific. Its claims cannot be tested and, in particular, are not subject to being tested as falsifiable.

I don't think Marx was merely an anti-semite -- he hated all organized religion. Consider "The Marx Nobody Knows" by Gary North http://www.unz.org/Pub/MaltsevYuri-1993-00075
