Famous dates in Marxian

November 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

history, part I: On November 16 1842, Marx first met Engels at the offices of Rheinische Zeitung in Cologne, where Marx was an editor. They would become friends two years later when they met again in Paris, following which they became life long collaborators.

Marx, edited by Engels: […] “the human essence is no abstraction inherent in each single individual. In its reality it is the ensemble of the social relations.” (Theses on Feuerbach, 1845).

of ice cream, but occasionally it is exactly the perfect thing. Tonight I went to the depanneur (corner store) and found that they’re selling Ben & Jerry’s now, which is a Very New Thing in Canada. We’ve had a B&J shop on Maisonneuve for years, but at the grocery? Radical.

But that pales in comparison with the secret mission I’m going on tomorrow, which is also ice cream related. If I achieve success, I’ll post pics and details.
