It always puts me to shame when I learn how many languages most communists spoke. Like Marx learned English and Russian to be able to study those country’s economics. Engels was apparently fluent in 12, and could read 20 languages.

That’s amazing! I believe every communist should take up language learning, as it unlocks entirely new spaces for us to see and viewpoints. I can only speak ~1.3 languages right now, but I’d love to make it to 5 or so eventually!
