Friedrich Engels
ENGELS
Born  28 Nov 1820- Barrmen
Dead 5 Aug 1895 (aged 74) London
Nationality Germany
Education 
The Holy Family (1844)
The Condition of the Working Class in England (1844)
Herr Eugen Dühring's Revolution in Science (1878)
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific (1880)
The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State (1884)
Party Communist Party
Book “A class which bears all the disadvantages of the social order without enjoying its advantages…Who can demand that such a class respect this social order ?”
School Marxism, Materialism

Widespread influence

 
A knowledge of the writings of Marx and Engels is
virtually indispensable to an educated person in our
time....For classical Marxism...has profoundly affected
ideas about history, society, economics, culture and
politics; indeed, about the nature of social inquire
itself...Not to be well grounded in the writings of Marx
and Engels is to be insufficiently attuned to modern
thought, and self-excluded to a degree from the continuing
debate by which most contemporary societies live insofar
as their members are free and able to discuss the
vital issues.
