> the early Ger-
> man Social Democrat Johann Baptist von Schweitzer went on to have a
> successful politi-
> cal career. His life furnishes the context to present remarks by his
> political opponents
> Marx and Engels, which reveal their deep-seated homophobia. It is pointed
> out that this

> Marx/Engels Collected
> Works. Some remarks on boy-love and anarchism are appended.
