      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 power dynamic is funnier that way. It implies an infantilisation of Marx and that he was only friends with Engels because of the money.

      There, you’ve made me explain my own joke. I hope you’re happy. /s
