Is it because Marx wrote more theory than Engels?

I dunno, Engels just seemed like a swell guy the way he supported Marx a lot. A true bestie.

Also does this count as a bad post because of the title? Sorry.

    Some time after Engels father died, he sold the factory. With the money, he supported not just Marx and his family, but a large part of the underground/communist/German scene in London. He also speculated at the stock exchange and he must have been good at it, because when he died, he left more than he had started out with.

    Also, while Marx said: “Je ne suis pas marxiste”, Engels really was the first Marxist.
