Engels was not a billionaire. 0.00004% of the world’s population are billionaires today. By today’s standards he was a multi millionaire for sure but he was nowhere near a billionaire. He was a part owner in a medium sized business. Engels was like one of the 10 richest people in a small town kind of rich.
Ski holiday every year type of rich. Not super yacht decorated with priceless art and its own helicopter rich.
I know, I’m obviously mostly joking. But the point still stands. We’re at a time where a low level billionaire might be so far removed from the actual richest people that they might become class traitors as well. Or maybe their kids y’know?
Point being we need capitalist class traitors on our side. Not in a way that we need to start reaching out to them or anything. But having even one actual communist billionaire or hundred-millionaire would be good idk
