F. Engels - the great teacher of the proletariat

(Baonghean.vn) - F. Engels, a genius leader, a great teacher of the proletariat, who, together with Karl Marx, built the scientific theory of socialism and fought for the cause of liberating the working class, working people, and for communism.

F. Engels was Marx's closest friend, comrade, and communist. Together with Marx, he founded Marxism, the scientific and revolutionary doctrine, the ideology of the working class and communists, the ideological weapon of the working class in the struggle to abolish capitalism and build a new socialist and communist society.

Marx and Engels.

In the early 1940s, although the proletarian movement against the domination and exploitation of the bourgeoisie had developed strongly, it was still spontaneous and had no clear goals; the working class had not yet realized its class interests and its noble historical mission.

The various doctrines of utopian socialism, reformism, and anarchism all failed and brought great losses to the workers' movement. The urgent need of the working class movement at this time was to have a revolutionary doctrine to guide it, to help the working class movement move from spontaneous to self-conscious, to complete its great historical mission.

During 40 years, F. Engels and Karl Marx worked hard to research and inherit the quintessence of human thought, which is German classical philosophy, British political economy and French socialism; at the same time, immersed themselves in the rich and vivid practice of the revolutionary struggle of the working class, building Marxism. These are the scientific theoretical foundations, the ideological weapons for the revolutionary struggle of the working class.

C.Marx and F.Engels discovered a historical truth: “It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence; on the contrary, their social existence determines their consciousness.”

Like Marx, Engels brought his fiery energy, clear mind and passionate heart to the revolutionary movement, bravely fighting for the cause of the working class. Engels' talent as a revolutionary strategist and tactician was excellently demonstrated during the revolutionary periods of 1948-1949 in Europe, the period of activities of the First International and the Paris Commune.

Together with Karl Marx, F. Engels fought relentlessly against reformist and sectarian tendencies (of Proudhon, Lassan, Bakunin...) to unify the international ranks. Together with Karl Marx, F. Engels was the patron of the German Social Democratic Party, having a great influence on the Party's activities. Socialists in France, Austria, Hungary, England, Poland, Spain, Italy, Russia, the Netherlands and many other countries all received invaluable help from F. Engels.

F. Engels was admired and respected not only for his intelligence as a scientist, his courage and enthusiasm as a great revolutionary soldier, but also for his noble qualities expressed in his close, loyal, touching, and rare friendship and comradeship with Karl Marx.

Considering himself as the second violin next to Karl Marx, and Karl Marx being the first violin, although he was very passionate about creative research and activities in the workers' movement, and hated the job of a clerk, F. Engels accepted to work as an office worker at a trading company in Manchester to be able to help Karl Marx materially, creating conditions for Karl Marx to work and create.

After Marx passed away, Engels put aside many of his own plans and focused his time and effort on an extremely heavy and difficult task that only Engels could do: editing and publishing volumes II and III of "Capital" that Marx left behind in manuscript form.

This is the greatest and greatest work of Marx and Marxism. By doing this, V. Lenin commented: "Engels erected a solemn monument for his genius friend, on which Engels, without even realizing it, also engraved his own name in indelible letters." At the same time, F. Engels spent a lot of time and effort to propagate Marx's ideas, fighting to protect Marx's ideas from attacks and distortions by hostile forces.

But F. Engels also criticized and firmly condemned the tendency and attempts to turn the doctrine founded by Marx and himself into a bunch of dogmatic, rigid, and immutable formulas. He fought relentlessly against those who disregarded the progress of science, new conditions and new needs of society.

In the event of new facts appearing, when the situation changes and life poses new problems, F. Engels is ready to reconsider even his own theoretical views. This is truly the view and style of a true scientist and revolutionary.

The heart of the most brilliant scientist and teacher of the modern proletariat in the entire civilized world, F. Engels, passed away on August 5, 1895. Speaking about him, Lenin affirmed that Engels was a “bright torch” among brilliant minds, a “great heart” among the hearts of humanity.

Although he passed away more than a century ago, until now, Frédéric Engels is still a great revolutionary leader, a genius in human history. Together with Marx - Lenin - Ho Chi Minh, Engels lives forever in the revolutionary cause of our Party, our people and the people of many countries in the world./.
