Karl Marx had few close friends, but his most significant friendship was with Friedrich Engels. Some key points about Marx's friendships: - His closest and lifelong friend was Friedrich Engels, the wealthy industrialist who provided Marx financial support and collaborated with him on major works like The Communist Manifesto.[3][4] - Marx had a falling out with many potential friends due to his envy, rancor, and desire to dominate intellectually. He would viciously attack those he saw as competitors through poisonous writings.[2] - Apart from Engels, Marx's only other close friend was the Dutch banker August Philips, who was his maternal cousin.[2] - Marx destroyed budding friendships almost automatically through his pettiness, envy, and urge to domineer over others.[2] - He had no real friends beyond Engels and Philips. Marx's difficult personality made it hard for him to maintain close friendships.[2] So while Marx had very few genuine friends due to his combative nature, his decades-long partnership and friendship with the wealthy Engels was crucial, both intellectually and financially, in allowing Marx to develop and propagate his revolutionary ideas.[3][4] Citations: [1]
