In **1878**, Engels’ longtime companion, Lizzie Burns, passed away. Engels was deeply affected by her death, as they had been together for many years and had only recently gotten married in 1878, just before she died. Despite the personal loss Engels was enduring, Marx, who had often been in financial hardship, wrote to Engels asking for money, seemingly indifferent to Engels’ grief.
In one letter dated around this time, Marx made little mention of Lizzie’s death and instead focused on his own financial issues, requesting more funds. This lack of sensitivity in Marx’s letter is what stands out to many readers. Engels, despite the situation, continued to support Marx financially, especially when Marx has apologised deeply in 300 words letter while also asking for the money lol.

Serious question: Did Marx ever actually, you know, earn any money himself or work a single day in his life? At this point I’ll take ‘he had a paper route when he was a kid’ if anyone can prove that.

It depends on whether or not Marx went on an anti-semitic rant after being denied more money

Tankies get mad when people point out he was a bum. I tend to like him more when I find out how much of a bum he was.
I like to think he would be the kind of guy who smokes weed all day and complains about how the system is keeping him down.
Dude is hilarious.

Marx was not a good person. He was a bad father to his children and a bad husband to his wife. He wasn’t even a good friend. All the people in his life were tools to help him accomplish his writing.
