• God damn that shit is so dumb.

    I don’t even know if any of that is true, besides the Engels sugar daddy thing, but it doesn’t even fucking matter. So, Marx is a hypocrite, what the hell does that change about the theory? I don’t fucking care if he had an outdoor cat, the dude was right.

      See, that’s the thing though. Engels was pretty close and agreed/expanded upon Marx’s theory and vice versa. So when they shit on Marx and disparage him for having a “sugar daddy” they refuse to recognize that the man of wealth, who owned a factory, etc was still supporting the ideal and wrote theory to expand it. That’s been my go to for “Marx was a poor commie”.

      “Sure. What about Engels?”

        Same, it’s pretty funny that the vast majority of anti-communists do not know who Engels, which tells they haven’t read anything.
