    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

      It also implies that he gave sexual favors for them too, based on popular connotation. There are other ways to get across your same joke without using the loaded term “sugar daddy.”

        I literally told you why I wrote what I wrote and you still act as if you’re the arbiter of meaning on every uord I utter.

        And again: Why. Should. Anyone. Care. If. Marx. And. Engels. Fucked?

          I already explained, I just personally dislike it when people make jokes about two people fucking in a pejorative manner.

            Yeah, I personally dislike it if people don’t have the guts to call me a liar and hide behind their arbitrary definitions that suit their point best. So I guess we’re all unhappy now.

              I’m not hiding begind “arbitrary definitions,” the definition you gave literally agreed with me. Historically, that’s the most relevant usage of the term.

      It’s not funny and you didn’t intend it to be funny, you clearly intended it to be derogatory
