I think it makes more sense if you consider the perspective of indigenous people who read Marx: that he was a copycat inspired by “primitive communism” to formulate proletarian communism. Marx/Engels were aware of certain elements of human evolution and the nature of indigenous societies through flawed early studies, and if you look in their notes, these used these ideas to formulate their theories of human nature and communism.

How interesting. The writer seems not to like Marxism, yet responded in a very Marxist way. Just look at that final paragraph.

Yeah the first chapter of Origin of the Family is Engels regurgitating “race science” that was used as justification for colonialism.
