    Are jokes not communist enough for you or something? It was funny and you’ve spent WAY too much time not just laughing at the funny joke. Maybe friends are a bit much for someone terminally online but you’ve never picked up a tab or bought something for someone and had them joke that you’re their sugar daddy?

    Engels was very much Marx’s sugar daddy as everyone would use the phase when joking about someone else paying someones way.

      The implication was that Engels was a piece of shit and that he contributed nothing but money to Marx, in exchange for sexual favors. There’s a wide gulf between a joke between friends, and someone using the term in a pejorative manner towards someone they don’t like.
