ENGELS 200:

Frederick Engels:  Co-Founder of Marxism

Sitaram Yechury

Frederick Engels is often referred to as the world’s first Marxist.  Nothing can be farther from the truth.  Engels was a collaborator of Marx, contributing in equal measure to the evolution of the Marxist world outlook. 

However, with his characteristic self-effacing modesty, Engels may have proudly accepted this status.

Editor’s Note

This double issue of the Marxist is dedicated to the 200th birth anniversary of Frederick Engels that falls on November 28, 2020. Under normal circumstances, without the raging pandemic, necessary precautions and the lockdown restrictions, the CPI(M) would have observed this event in a befitting manner like the Party observed Marx 200 in 2018-19.
