>Marx and Engels were reactionaries. In Engel's Principles of Communism he makes it obvious and just admits that they are reacting to developments of liberalism, which was the revolution, and against the old feudal system which guaranteed some security for people.
I don't think we're reading the same Principles of Communism. There's actually a section in it where Engels specifically says communists "must continually support the radical liberal party" in Germany against the monarchists (in their own time, place and context), although cautioning to take care "to avoid the self-deceptions of the bourgeoisie and not fall for the enticing promises of benefits which a victory for the bourgeoisie would allegedly bring to the proletariat." But he saw advantages in a bourgeois victory over the monarchists in speeding up the struggle between the bourgeoisie and proletariat. You cannot battle the bourgeoisie until the bourgeoisie is in power. They laid it out. Go back and read it again.
