Rly shit takes from Engels here [Engels - The Magyar Struggle] Apparently there's worse yet to come in "Democratic Pan-Slavism"
Its also a total reversal from his position in septemberish 1848, when he was castigating germans for their chauvanism being the cause of slavs opposing revolution
[Engels - Democratic Pan Slavism] oh yeah this is even worse jfc engels
Its like every bad settler argument ive ever heard in one horrible article
Exterminate the reactionary races jfc Engels wtf are you doing
Every aspect of these two articles is absolutely horrible, but the most theoretically bankrupt part is how he writes off national oppression as "imaginary". Its especially bankrupt given that this is the same Engels who just last year (1848) wrote some wonderful (unironically!) articles about the material aspects of settler colonialist oppression in Poland, but now he's denying any oppression of non-Polish slavs. Incoherent articles.
