"Fredrich Engels was the co developer of Marxism with his more well known colleague Karl Marx" Improved: Friedrich Engelswas a radical thinker and is best known for his contributions to the Marxist theories of government. Engels was born in Prussia in 1820 to a fairly well-to-do family, but established himself as a revolutionary. He was so involved in revolutionary work that he was forced to flee Prussia in 1844. His writings include The Condition of the Working Class in England, but it was his collaboration with Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto which gave him fame. Engels also helped edit Marx's Das Kapital. Engels' writings told of the need for the common worker to arise and resist the powers of leadership, especially of the business owners. Engels promoted the idea that the working class should revolt if necessary to get the rights and benefits he felt they deserved. His writings were revered by many revolutionaries in countries where oppression was evident. Ironically, his writings inspired some of the most oppressive governments within the last century, including the former Soviet Union. (German philosopher)
