    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.

        I don't know, I never found Marx's personal life that interesting so I never looked into it. I've looked into his career -- despite being broke, he was a busy boy -- but not things like his marriage. That Engels was more likely the guy here is just something I happened to pick up.

          Yeah, I feel you. I don't really care either. Regardless he produced some of the most monumental work of all human history. You can't just dismiss it because he was potentially a deadbeat dad. It doesn't even matter. Also, of course he was a deadbeat, he was fucking totally broke living off his sugardaddy.

          Man produced though.
