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.
