Friedrich Engels

Engels Revisited

The proletariat had become the majority, he argued, and the prospect of taking power by electoral means, through universal suffrage, made it possible to defend revolution and legality at the same time

The First Revisionist

Engels became the torch-bearer of Marx's teachings but instead of buttressing the latter's zeal and enthusiasm for new explorations, made it mechanical and lifeless. He regarded Communism as the general condition of modern civilisation and not specific to any particular country. It concerned humanity as a whole and not just the working class.
