Friedrich Engels
Friedrich Engels was a German philosopher, historian, political scientist and revolutionary socialist. Together with his friend and long time collaborator Karl Marx, he developed the materialist scientific explanation of history and economics, which later became known as Marxism.
Engels was Marx’s dearest friend and inseparable comrade in arms, co-developer of dialectical materialism and scientific socialism and co-author with Marx of the Communist Manifesto; one of the founders of the Communist League and the International Association of Workingmen or First International.
On 5 August 1895, Engels died of throat cancer in London, aged 74. Following cremation at Woking Crematorium, his ashes were scattered off Beachy Head, near Eastbourne, as he had requested.
The Plato to our Socrates! Except this time neither of them are reactionaries.

Hey, look, Engels was a woke! /s
No way, next will you tell me he was a commie?! 😲
No way, next will you tell me he was a TANKIE!!??!!?!?!?!?!?
Engels built a time machine and became the first Marxist-Leninist
But seriously you can argue that since he wasn’t Marx and lived longer than him he was the first marxist.

It’s my birthday today. I didn’t know I was born in the anniversary of the death of this man. Our glorious class traitor.
Class traitor?
Edit: Ah, because he had money, I got it.
He was born a bourgeois and became a ruthless champion of the proletariat like few could boast to be.
