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
Shit like this is what the deep web should be for, disseminating pirated content and leftist agitation, but instead it's bitcoin scams and trafficked porn
Thus far the clearnet handles that need fine - see libgen. I suspect if it ever got to a point where it didn't, they or others with the data would switch to an onion website almost immediately.
I know, that's the funny part, all that shit is on the clear web.
How does someone own the copyright for letters that were written over a century ago?
They own the copyright to the translation and since no one's had a strong urge to translate every single letter over again without applying their own copyright, marxists.org has to submit to their wishes (which the mirror entirely subverts lol)
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
:volcel-judge:
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
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.

:wtf-am-i-reading: :heart-sickle:
Wayback Machine still has all of the stuff that was removed. That's why those URLs are still up
I relate to OP so much... My boys were 100% in love ❤️❤️❤️ :wtf-am-i-reading:
I'm more interested in Jenny Marx's lesbian adventures with...I dunno...Lizzie Burns? Lady Anne Blunt?
Or Engles and Willich being gay comrades in arms in 1848 (if I recall, Engles refused to leave Willich's side, and Willich refused to retreat until his entire command had escaped over the border.)
