The man plotted to kill Marx for being too conservative? Hardcore
It doesn't get less hardcore. Dude had Engles as an aide de camp in 1848, leading one of the few competent republican armies. They fled together across the border with the last rearguard. Later, he became a US Union General (leading a brigade of German Communists.) frontal charged the confederate lines uphill without orders and broke through, allowing Sherman's March to the Sea. He was wounded in a later battle frontal charging the slavers again. Dude just hated the south with a pure burning contempt. He tried to join the Prussians in the Franco-Prussian war because fuck the French, but was refused because, well, communist. He then went back to Paris but couldn't get through the lines to join the Commune, and instead stood outside screaming at them to march on Versailles already.
Great poster, great hater. Would we had more like him.
