Engels: pick your choose

I think I overstepped, saying Engels was Jewish. My point was that Communism, which he and Marx created, had its roots in WESTERN ("Judaeo-Christian") philosophical thinking, not Chinese. Chinese President Xi was and is a staunch Communist and Atheist, and he has demanded party discipline concerning religion. Only a small minority of Chinese are Communists.
