Friends

Dedicated to my lifelong friend Eva

I will begin with the basics of a philosophy that refuses to die, while its application– socialism had suffered a velvet death on the brick streets of St. Wenceslas Square in Prague on November 17, 1989.

Marxist Leninist philosophy was the product of a friendship between Karl Marx in Germany and Frederick Engels in England.

Marx and Engels began working together in 1844 in Paris, France.

They first met in person in August 1844 at the Café de la Régence, where they spent about ten days in intense discussion. That meeting marked the start of their lifelong intellectual and political partnership.

Shortly after, they collaborated on their first major joint work, “The Holy Family” (1845), and later co-authored the famous “Communist Manifesto” (1848) for the Communist League.
