Engels' estate was worth a whopping 4 million dollars, or more than 400 million yen in today's Japanese yen. In addition to this, there must have been various other assets in various forms, so the total amount must have been tremendous. Most of these assets were inherited by the Marx family.

In addition, Engels' ashes will be scattered at sea after his death according to his wishes. His grave will not exist in this world. This was a surprise to me.

After Marx's death, Engels struggled to put himself out there to spread his ideas.

Engels then added to Marx's manuscript and the third volume of Capital was completed.

However, whether this can really be said to be the work and thought of Marx may be a delicate matter.

Can we really call a collection of notes pieced together a person's work or thought?

Moreover, the notes themselves were merely the random accumulation of Marx, who had read a vast amount of literature. To be honest, it is doubtful whether they were systematically written down as an idea.

Engels was already editing Marx's voluminous manuscript at the time of the first volume of Capital. Even when Marx was alive, Engels was struggling with this task.

What happened after Marx's death?

The work became an unimaginably arduous path.

A huge pile of manuscripts filled with bad writing that is difficult to decipher, incoherent sentences, and disorganized quotations.

Engels was so sick in the eye from all this editing work!

In this article, I will discuss in detail the details of the events and the problems with the second and third volumes of "Capitalism.

I cannot emphasize enough how significant it is to have disseminated the difficult "Capitalism," which no one reads or even can read, to the general public in an easy-to-understand manner.

The difficult and large "Capitalism" and the easy and compact "From Imagination to Science.

One might say that it was this combination that led to the explosion of Marxism.

Engels' Anti-Dühring Theory had a tremendous impact on the spread of Marxism.

In contrast, however, in recent years there has been a strong criticism that "Engels distorted and spread Marx. The criticism that "Engels was the cause of the events that Marxism caused afterwards" has become stronger.

Did Engels really distort Marx? Or did he successfully explain Marx's difficult (and incomprehensible) ideas? This is a very big question.

We will consider that in this article.

Just as Engels once applied Hegel to economics and human history, he now applied Hegel's dialectic even to science and technology.

Ideology can also be applied to science. We associate science with objective data such as mathematical formulas, but it is surprising that it can also be constructed under an ideological worldview.

And since they were spoken with such seriousness, it was a different world.

Engels, who even influenced the scientific framework of the communist bloc, is to be feared.

In 1881, Marx was unable to see his wife through her final days and was himself battling illness. Marx, a giant who moved the world, suffered from illness in his later years and made little progress in his writing.

And Marx died in 1883 without completing the second and third volumes of his Theory of Capital.

But Marx's story does not end when he dies. Rather, after his death, his ideas would become even more massive and have a profound impact on the world. And there he was, after all, that man, Engels.
