Despite engel's aid, marx lived in relative poverty. Thanks to engel's aid, marx was able to live.

Private possessions do not automatically transform people into counter revolutionaries. Engels was a freaking millionaire. What Marx, Lenin, Mandela, Castro and Fawehinmi had in common was that they were trained bourgeois lawyers but what made the difference is that they developed revolutionary consciousness.
To expect workers to autimatically support revolutionary praxis is to expect poor white trash and poor nazi scum to oppose white supremacy given their working class backgrounds. That would be mechanical materialism as opposed to historical materialism.
Marx called on the working class to lead other oppressed classes because they are better organized and have higher class consciousness, not because they are angels immune to the bourgeois hegemony that persuaded working class Italians to hold the keys to the fascist jails that held their leader, Gramsci.
Fanon reminds us that part of the apathy of the peasants can be explained by the failure of the phantom bourgeoisie to mobilize them and educate them with revolutionary literature.

True?
