The exact phrase is "Arschkissende Poet Spencer [sic]." It appears to be based solely on "A View of the Present State of Ireland" and perhaps some background info from Engels. I wish Marx had written on the giant in V.i or the Cave of Mammon in II.
The text from which this comes is The Ethnographical Notebooks. The full-text may be found here (the best site for Marx and Marxist texts):
