Engels, Frederick, socialist, born in Barmen on Nov. 28, 1820, the son of a well-to-do manufacturer. Took up commerce, but already at an early age began propagating radical and socialist ideas in newspaper articles and speeches. After working for some time as a clerk in Bremen and serving for one year as an army volunteer in Berlin in 1842, he went for two years to Manchester, where his father was co-owner of a cotton mill.
In 1844 he worked for the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher published by Arnold Ruge and Karl Marx in Paris. In 1844 he returned to Barmen and in 1845 addressed communist meetings organised by Moses Hess and Gustav K?ttgen in Elberfeld. Then, until 1848, he lived alternately in Brussels and Paris; in 1846 he joined, with Marx, the secret Communist League, a predecessor of the International, and represented the Paris communities at the two League congresses in London in 1847. On the League's instructions, he wrote, jointly with Marx, the Communist Manifesto addressed to the "working men of all countries", which was published shortly before the February revolution [1848] (a new edition appeared in Leipzig in 1872).
In 1848 and 1849 E. worked in Cologne for the Neue Rheinische Zeitung edited by Marx, and after its suppression he contributed, in 1850, to the Politisch-oekonomische Revue. He witnessed the uprisings in Elberfeld, the Palatinate and Baden and took part in the Baden-Palatinate campaign as aide-de-camp in Willich's volunteer corps. After the suppression of the Baden uprising E. returned as a refugee to England and re-entered his father's firm in Manchester in 1850.
He retired from business in 1869 and has lived in London since 1870. He assisted his friend Marx in providing support for the international labour movement, which arose in 1864, and in carrying on social-democratic propaganda. E. was Secretary for Italy, Spain and Portugal on the General Council of the International. He advocates Marxian communism in opposition to both "petty bourgeois" Proudhonist and nihilistic Bakuninist anarchism. His main work is The Condition of the Working-Class in England (Leipzig, 1845; new edition, Stuttgart, 1892), which, although one-sided, possesses undeniable scientific value. His Anti-Dühring is a polemic of considerable size (2nd ed. Zurich, 1886). E.'s other published works include Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy (Stuttgart, 1888), The Origin of the Family Socialism: Utopian and Scientific (4th ed., Berlin, 1891). E. also published Vols 2 and 3 of Karl Marx's Capital and the 3rd and 4th editions of Vol. I, and contributed many articles to the Neue Zeit.

yeah, I’ve been hard stuck at like 6 or 7 for a while. I figured I’d pick up a new character, so thanks for the Zato warning.
If they announce slayer I’m getting the pass and learning Johnny
pasta
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to play Johnny. The spacing is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of mist finer cancels most of his pressure will go over a typical player's head. There's also Johnny's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy of burning all of his money draws heavily from the (killer) Joker, for instance. The Johnny mains understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate enkasu, to realise that they're not just talented at execution- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Johnny truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the brilliance in mashing 5K, which itself is a cryptic reference to the Five K's of Sikhism and its relation to Eastern mysticism. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the Johnny player's genius dash up throw into 50% damage unfolds itself on their monitors. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, I DO have a tattoo of a katana and a giant flaming letter J. And no, you cannot see it. It's for my harem's eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 1 mist finer level of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
