Shit, you might be right. What's the point of talking to people on reddit who are interested in Engels? It only brings out the tragedy of life whereas those people were born and continue to live in the capitalist West while more aspiring people have to stuck in North Korea and Cuba.

You can categorize CCP's anime of Marx and Engels and thousands of other visual propaganda ever produced about these two as "historical biography" this way. Holy shit?

Without looking at the validity of their ideas and its consequences, none of any other details of their life are of any substance or with concrete evidence. You might as well as fill in with any variety of your preconception of them. With enough ink, you can paint it in any brush you like, in any style you wish. How are you confident that your reading of Engels' life be any more concrete or valid than, say, the CCP's slice-of-life anime, the adventure of Marx and Engels?

So does the CCP. They have an entire subministry and system of party schools dedicated to this one. You want to compare the number of researching years with them?

The point is, without even the slightest effort to look at the validity of the ideas, how do you distinguish your work from average propaganda that attempt to humanize (or canonize, or whatever else suited the audience) Engels in an effort to proliferate his work uncritically?

Do you even attempt to analyze their works at all to figure out where it was wrong and why it didn't work in practice or just take them as gospel like thousands of communist propaganda that were compelled at schools and university in those countries?
