传记作家揭示：恩格斯其实是个种族灭绝主义者

2009年，《纽约时报》在一篇书评中指出，一直素来被人们当成是“以解放全人类为己任”的共产主义革命导师恩格斯，其实是个种族主义者。

这篇文章中写道：
As artfully as Mr. Hunt flushes out Engels's human side, he can't — and to be fair, doesn't try to — hide the brutal ideologue that also existed inside his cranium. Engels was an advocate, on at least one occasion, of ethnic cleansing; his writing about science helped lead to the abominations of Soviet-style scientific inquiry, which dismissed results that might be seen as bourgeois. He was a master tactician whose purging of rivals in political organizations foreshadowed later purges.

简单翻译为：
亨特先生技巧性地刷新了恩格斯人性化的一面，他没法——公平起见，他也没尝试——把恩格斯脑子里的残忍理论给掩盖住。恩格斯，至少在某个场合，是种族清洗的倡导者；他关于科学的著作导致了令人厌恶的苏维埃式的科学研究，该研究排除了那些可能被认为是资产阶级的结果。他是一个战术大师，对政治党派中的对手的清洗又为后来的清洗埋下了伏笔。
