Stalin's response to Hitler's demonization of communism as a Jewish invention

It's no surprise that Adolf Hitler vilified communism as a Jewish invention just because Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky were Jewish, but is it possible that Stalin wanted Soviet citizens not to listen to Hitler's claims about communism being associated with Jews because he and Lenin agreed with Marx that religion was "opium of the people"?

It wasn't a problem. The USSR was a totalitarian country, even more than Nazi Germany. All news was censored and more - they were twisted and processed by professional propagandists.
You've never heard or read the original - only its Soviet interpretation.
