This article is about recognizing the territory of a concept, in this case, that of Marxism as it appears in the Theses on Feuerbach, by summoning up Deleuze, Freud, Engels, Heidegger, and Sartre. Rhetoric analysis is applied to the foundational scripture of Marxism to show how Marx’s materialist enunciation was thwarted by Engel’s textual manipulation.
