Comparing Marx And Friedrich Engels 'The Bedouin'

The authors of the communist manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, nationality played a key role in writing the manuscript. Both men came from Prussia, as well as a somewhat wealthy family. They were born into the upper middle-class, allowing them to receive an education. However Engels’ family would soon face circumstances that would cause Engels to drop out of school and be sent to Bremen to work. There Engels would soon discover the works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, which would influence him to publish, a poem entitled "The Bedouin". He would also take part in writing newspaper articles criticizing societal ills of industrialization. Engels was eventually drafted into the Prussian military and was station at berlin. While there

Engels from very early on, knew about the effects of industrialization and how badly it affects the workers.
