Quotes by Friedrich Engels
Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and revolutionary socialist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx in the development of Marxist theory. Born into a wealthy textile family in Barmen, Prussia, Engels witnessed the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which spurred his lifelong commitment to social change. His seminal works, including "The Condition of the Working Class in England" and "The Communist Manifesto," co-authored with Marx, laid the foundational ideas for modern socialism. Engels' legacy endures as a pivotal figure in the fight for social justice and workers’ rights.
