People like to allege that it was Marx to impugn on his character, but it was probably Engels

Damn TIL. Marx was married to Jenny Von-Westphalen and Engel’s was living with Mary Burns and after she died he married Lizzie Burns.

I’ve also heard people accuse Marx of abandoning his kids and wife, as if that magically invalidates communism because he can’t possibly actually care for people.

I think it’s irrelevant to communism but is that shit even true? I know the guy was broke anyway.
