Engels[edit]

What happened to Friedrich Engels? He was Karl Marx's co-thinker and they co-authored a lot of work. All the sources at Dictionary.com mention his name, so this entry should, too. -- Coffeebeans08 09:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Done. -- Coffeebeans08 09:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Etymology, suffix[edit]

For some discussion of the etymology of this, and whether or not it is suffixed with -ism, see Category talk:English nouns ending in "-ism". For discussion of another case of a French loanword's ending being considered to be or not be a suffix, see Wiktionary:Tea room/2018/June#Rapprochement. - -sche (discuss) 18:54, 5 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense "The study of Karl Marx within society." Plausible, although it seems like it would be confusing, heh. I'm having a hard time finding any examples, because searching for things like google books:"Marxism" "scholars of Marx" or "Marxism" + "Marx's life" or "study [Karl] Marx" still only finds the more common sense. - -sche (discuss) 19:29, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

This sense was added by @Jamzze, who has been contributing a number of sociology senses and terms. Jamzze, can you help us attest this sense according to the attestation requirements? This, that and the other (talk) 10:38, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
