Engels' contributions to Marxist theory are critical works, such as Anti-Dühring and On the Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, and neither him nor Marx by any means loved capitalism. He was crucial to the development of dialectical materialism and scientific socialism, and was Marx's biggest sponsor and comrade.
Then I suppose I will never fully explore Marxist theory. How sad.
Guess not. I agree, it is sad.
Its not Engels that is a capitalism lover (in the eabove comment) its Marx.
Kinda, at least compared to feudalism, though he also hated it and wished it abolished. Capitalism's advent was both progressive, and resulted in incredible immiseration for the new proletariat as compared to their earlier yeomanry and serfdom.
I just wanted to point out that Cassandra said that Marx was a capitalism lover, not Engels as you replied.
Yep, gotcha. I see now.
Also, Marx may have fucked his wife.
Big if true.
