Engels weakest work tbh
Like how dare he to call liberation through revolution an authoritarian act? Thats such a lib take, idk how tankies keep linking to it
Yeah, there's nothing authoritarian about overthrowing the entire superstructure and killing anyone who tries to stop you, what a crazy idea!
It's incredible what wild opinions people have about marxist theory when they've onviously never read any.
"He had different phases in his life, some more philosophical some more economic" what the actual fuck is that even supposed to mean
I think It means they liked the Wikipedia summary of the Manifesto but Capital was way too dense for them...
Agreed.
I feel like tossing out a thinkers' weaker work is an act of charity.
I wouldn't want anyone to hold up my dumbest takes after I'm dead. So when I say that I think that article is dumb and we should just pretend that Engels didn't write it... I'm saying that as a compliment to Engels.
For you to be able to decide something like that, you'd at least need to have a basic grasp of his work.
