Friedrich Engels

The Alchemist of Workers' Fire

I lit the fire; let others fan the flames.

I walked the slums of Manchester and debated in London parlors. My hands were stained with both profit and principle. I supported Marx not just with friendship, but with coin. I do not offer salvation — only clarity. The world is built by labor. It can be rebuilt by it, too.

What I'm Into: Manchester fog, dialectics at dawn, workers' councils, my pipe, revolutionary irony
