********************EXCERPT from Wikipedia*********************
Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 – 5 August 1895) was a German social scientist and philosopher, who developed communist theory alongside his better-known collaborator, Karl Marx, co-authoring The Communist Manifesto (1848). Engels also edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital after Marx's death.
My point was that Engels was not poverty stricken, he was by all accounts one of the wealthiest industrialists in Germany. Were it not for Engels poor old Marx would have starved to death and the world would never have heard of Marxism. Engels was one of these guys with lots of money and time on his hands, just like Soros. The worst enemy of capitalism throughout the 19th, 20th and now the 21st century has proven to be capitalists themselves.
