it's controversial with Hegelian-Marxists, such as the followers of Raya
Dunayevskaya (sp?), who see Marx as being Hegelian and Engels as not.

CB: Yes, indeedy. Raya D. lived in Detroit for a while, and there is a
Marxist-Humanist chapter here. I attended a number of their meetings a few years ago,
and read a number of her books. Alas, I soon observed what you said. Anti-Engelism is
a key component of her theory. Lenin fairs a little better. She says Lenin stopped one
paragraph short in Hegel, but otherwise he did pretty good. Nonetheless, I try to
learn about Hegel from the Marxist-Humanists.
There are a number of other schools of Marxist thought that claim a big difference
between Engels and Marx, so I was trying to get a measure of Draper.
