between states. As a result \u2018socialism\u2019 has become associated with militant nationalism rather than with the working-class internationalism it had originally been. The political struggle they present as a struggle is not between the working class and the capitalist class, but as a struggle of \u2018patriots\u2019 \u2013 workers and capitalists together \u2013 against foreign rule and domination.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/socialist-standard\/2020\/2020s\/no-1395-november-2020\/socialism-or-nationalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/socialist-standard\/2020\/2020s\/no-1395-november-2020\/engels-as-utopian-socialist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Engels as Utopian Socialist<\/a><\/h1>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\">Engels became a socialist some time in 1842 after coming into contact with supporters <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-208694 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Hess-Image-195x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Hess-Image-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Hess-Image.jpg 380w\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" \/>of Robert Owen in Manchester.

As part of this campaign a series of three meetings was held in Elberfeld. Engels spoke at two of them. In the first, on 8 February, he set out the case against \u2018present-day society\u2019 and for replacing it by communism. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/socialist-standard\/2020\/2020s\/no-1395-november-2020\/engels-as-utopian-socialist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/socialist-standard\/2020\/2020s\/no-1395-november-2020\/engels-political-testament\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Engels\u2019s Political Testament<\/a><\/h1>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-208691 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image-213x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image-729x1024.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image-768x1079.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image-1093x1536.jpg 1093w, https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image-600x843.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Def-Testament-Image.jpg 1433w\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" \/>Engels died in August 1895.

He was the eldest son of a textile capitalist. Engels was trained for a career as a merchant, but in 1841 he went to Berlin and became closely involved with the Young Hegelians, a group of left-wing philosophers with whom Marx had also been involved. While in Berlin he did his military service in an artillery regiment, and for the rest of his life he took a keen interest in military matters. Later on, in the Marx household he was known as \u2018The General\u2019 and in the socialist movement as \u2018Marx\u2019s General\u2019. In 1842 Engels became a socialist \u2013 before and independently of Marx \u2013 and went to Salford to work in his father\u2019s business. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/socialist-standard\/2020\/2020s\/no-1395-november-2020\/engels-pioneer-socialist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/socialist-standard\/2020\/2020s\/no-1395-november-2020\/trump-and-lying-as-a-tactic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump and lying as a tactic<\/a><\/h1>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-208684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Barbiturikills_-_Trump-293x207.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"207\" \/>The reign of President Trump in the United States has been characterised by open deceit. Many of his opponents berated the media for not calling his lies outright lies, but even when they have, it has not scratched the levels of support he possesses among his millions of followers. A recent example was following the revelations, in the Bob Woodward recorded interviews, that Trump had tried to downplay the seriousness of Covid 19, while knowing full well the danger it posed (as he later found to his cost). His team\u2019s response was to announce that Trump had never played down the seriousness of Covid, despite him \u2013 on tape \u2013 saying he would and the plethora of public statements that can demonstrate that he did.
