>Marx would never have approved if he had still been alive
So? Marx didn't have all the answers, his work serves as a foundation for future advancements in theory, not the be all-end all of it. Lenin said as much. Engels is a different person from Marx, so obviously one cannot claim that his writing will be entirely in line with what Marx would have written. But as an application of marxist theory onto history the book has some very profound truths to offer.
