[–] CyberGhost@lemmygrad.ml [S] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) But wouldn't owning factories make you a class traitor? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago The person I was aiming at is Engels, who came from a factory owning family. He did not technically completely own a factory (without going into too much details) but he was still born in a bourgeoisie family and profited off the labor of others. You could call Engels a class traitor for this but he still wrote some of the most important communist theory out there. Sometimes it's not that black and white. permalink fedilink source parent
