He provided a lot of economic support for Marx to establish Marxism. After his death, he helped Marx complete his unfinished works such as Das Kapital and led the international workers' movement. In addition to co-writing with Marx, he also wrote Dialectics of Nature and The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and State.
Engels' Love Life: Shortly after Engels came to Manchester, he met Mary Baines. Mary is a simple young Irish textile worker who works in a cotton textile factory in Manchester. She is one year younger than Engels, and her father is a printer.
Mary is cheerful and full of youthful vitality. The heavy work in the factory failed to quench her enthusiasm. Engels was deeply moved by her simple and generous manners, determined and lively posture, as well as her "wild rose" beauty and "black brave eyes", and was deeply attracted by her.
Engels loved Mary Baines deeply. 1In June of 843, Engels and Mary began to live together. The young couple lived together with freedom, respect and independence until Mary died in 1863.
Later, Engels lived with Mary's sister Leahy.
For many years, Li Xi lived in the same family as Mary and Engles. She deeply mourned her sister. They are not only brothers, but also very close because of the same political views. Later, Engels and Leahy became closer and closer and cared more and more about each other, until their sympathy and admiration led to eternal love, so Leahy became Engels' second wife.
He has never been married. Because in "Family, Marriage and Private Ownership", he once said: Marriage, which is recognized by the state and held in the church, is unnecessary and unnecessary. Because he opposed the marriage system, they never entered the marriage hall.
Later, Li Xi became seriously ill. In the hospital bed, Li Xi asked her husband to perform the formal marriage formalities. Engels has always believed that it is unnecessary and unnecessary for the state to approve marriage and hold a ceremony in the church. However, he agreed to the last request of his dying wife, and held a wedding with her on the evening of September 1878+0 1. A few hours later, Li Xi died in Engels' arms.
Engels opposed the marriage system. What do you think of this? Engels opposed the marriage system, which can be seen from his book The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and State.
In his book The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and State, Engels systematically and scientifically expounded the early stage of human history, and discussed the origin and development of family, the emergence of private ownership and class, the origin of state and the nature of class.
In this process, Engels scientifically explained the historical essence of marriage and family morality, the foundation of marriage and its morality, the hypocrisy and degeneration of bourgeois marriage and family morality, the moral requirements in marriage and family relations in capitalist society, gender equality and women's liberation.
Engels used the basic principles of historical materialism to analyze the basis of marriage in different historical periods and the moral requirements in marriage and family relations, emphasizing that monogamy will be continuously improved with the establishment and development of public ownership. In the future, the conclusion of marriage and the establishment of family should be based on love, and only marriage based on love is ethical.
Engels pointed out that under the conditions of group marriage and pairing marriage, modern love can not be produced, let alone become the basis of marriage.
In this case, the combination of the two sexes "has no other motive except mutual love".
Therefore, Engels believed that only on the premise of eliminating private ownership can the true unity of love and marriage be realized. In other words, in the future socialist social system, love will become the only foundation of marriage, and only marriage based on love is ethical.
The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and State has become a classic of Marxist marriage and family morality. Reading this book carefully is of great practical value for us to establish a correct moral concept of marriage and family, thus promoting the establishment of harmonious gender relations, marriage relations and family relations.
