Most Important Red Pill Lesson for Marxoids and Why China Prospers Despite Dollar Hegemony
Contributed by Chris Morlock (Cadre ACP)
All of Marx's written material was literally financed by direct exploitation of workers in Engels’ Salford factory. During Marx's life, Engels gave Marx around the equivalent of $3 million dollars. This is just an inflation adjusted number—if we drill down into the PPP (purchasing power parity) aspect it was more like $6 million easily.
Engels inherited around $6-7 million, again adding PPP and other factors he was definitely the equivalent of a contemporaneous HNWI (high net worth individual - meaning a person with $1 million in fluid assets alone).
Engels had around $15-$20 million by the 1880's - that was his value adjusted for purchasing power. Without his patronage, Marx's theory would not have existed. Marx would have been likely a beat writer always a step away from the poor house.
Without Marx's distance from and isolation to proletarian labor, he would never have had the time to sit in the round reading room at the British library for 10 hours a day. He would never have had the mental dimension of separation from proletarian consciousness necessary to objectively analyze it.
Neither did Marx have to worry about administering production from the factory floor—this was Engels cross to bear. For nearly a decade Engels used his family stipend (salary basically) to give to Marx- around $200,000 a year.
Chinese Marxist Leninists, in the oddest way, do the same thing on a societal level—they isolate themselves within the party cadre from the national bourgeois class—they use their ability to seek out markets and competition and integrative ability in the global economy (dollar system). Then they take this "salary" and feed it back into a centralized industrial planning model. They exist both outside the system and right on top of it's command structure.
Engels is most likely the most important functional part of Marxism, his class betrayal is what gave us the civilizational movement of Marxism Leninism.
Just as Christians "win" by imitating Christ, the CPC "wins" by imitating the Engelsian process.
