Marx stepped into a Romcom for a moment.
nah he's too much of a wife guy for any romcom who's plot doesn't involve jenny
this is one of the reasons I just can't believe Marx had a love child with the housekeeper
My rabid Christian fascist in denial libertarian co-worker preaches all day about Marx being a Demon worshiper who cheats on his wife willy-nilly and cites that dubious claim as historical facts.
I personally think it's more likely Engel's kid, not the child of someone else outside of Marx's household alltogether since all historical evidence that surrounds the man points towards him being a serial monogamous wife-guy with a bad case of loving his wife a huge amount.
Is this a good bio to read?
I am on a quest to find the best Marx biography myself. Haven’t found it yet, seems like there isn’t one definitive one out there. Michael Heinrich has apparently written a great one but he’s only done one of three volumes (or the others haven’t been translated into English yet, I don’t remember).
I'll check that out, the translation of vol 1 is published by Monthly Review, so I'll take that as a good sign
