Your puny copyright won't stop me from scouring Marx and Engels' letters to each other for any shred of evidence that they were more than friends

@VolcelPolice help us, we’re boiling over.
Good work on shutting down the horniness here comrade, you did the right thing calling us in.
Apologies for our earlier mistrust of you, we should have known you were an upstanding volcel citizen

I don't think there's really evidence... But they were such close friends through all their life, Engels kept supporting Marx financially and pulling him out of trouble, it's just so sweet that it's nice to imagine they were secretly boyfriends... That's how I look at it 😊
On the other hand this kind of thinking is a large part of why young boys associate having close male friends with being gay.
Can't a guy just have close friends them just being very platonically close with no sexual element doesn't make it less sweet
:this:
I know but remember those were different times, two men couldn't just openly be together. There definitely were a lot of guys who presented to the world as friends but were secretly more. I'm not saying it was like that with those two, but this is just a thing I like to imagine.
they weren't just two guys they were Marx and Engels the respectability ship had pretty much sailed
Idk, I feel even in their social circles people wouldn't have liked it. Besides... I'm not making a claim it was definitely true in real life, I just like to ship it, you know? Like, we'll probably never find out with 100% certainty, how it was with them, but that's okay, just... let me dream 😅
Probably not true, they were both pretty devoted to their respective wives, though Marx probably had at least one affair.
It is fun to imagine though.
