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

    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.

        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 😅
