Federico Engels: The promoter of scientific ideas at the service of the working class (+Christmas)

On November 28, 1820, Federico Engels, a philosopher and revolutionary, was born in Barmen-Elberfeld (kingdom of Prussia), currently Wuppertal, Rhineland, Germany, into a prosperous family that owned textile and wine businesses.

A close friend and intellectual collaborator of Carlos Marx, the works that both wrote, and even the individual ones, were fundamental to the birth of communism, socialism or modern trade unionism.

This political thinker was also the author of The Scientific Revolution of Herr Eugen Dühring, known as Anti-Dühring, (1878), a work of which several chapters were published separately under the title: From Utopian Socialism to Scientific Socialism (1892) and The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State (1884).

Engels died on August 5, 1895 in London, England.
