all my keysmash are belong to you

Antichrists Anonymous, a Family Guy/Good Omens crossover. Stewie/Adam of the it's-slashy-if-you-squint variety.

In-between my social theory readings, I have been perusing the limited preview of Francis Wheen's Karl Marx: A Life and absorbing Marx/Engels innuendo. "Self," I tells me, "this is not the right way to approach either a study break or supplemental course reading."

BUT COME ON. There have got to be more of you in the Marx/Engels camp? The following are choice excerpts from Wheen, not only for my personal reference, but also for YOURS. You know, just in case in the future you want to write about their beautiful 19th-century revolutionary love.

( why Marx and Engels complemented each other perfectly and that is not my wording )

( a brief sketch of Marx )

( Engels's double life )

( Marx and Engels' first meeting )

( and because it's cute: excerpt from a letter Engels wrote when he was drunk )

This requires no lj-cut: "They had no secrets from each other, no taboos; if Marx found a huge boil on his penis he didn't hesitate to supply a full description."

AND how about the part where Engels taught paleography to the German Social Democrats that wanted to organize Marx's unpublished papers because Engels and Marx's wife were the only two people who could understand his writing. Not only was it messy, but they would correspond in "Anglo Franco Latino German mumbo jumbo." THEY HAD THEIR OWN SECRET LANGUAGE, GUYS sort of.

...There is so much about this post that would have had me blacklisted, once upon a time.
