OTL -- in 1844, Engels met Marx in Paris, where they stayed until they were kicked out in 1845, after their radical newspaper employer, Vorwärts, expressed approval on an assassination attempt against the King of Prussia.
WI -- This otherwise obscure attempt does not happen; so, in 1848, both Marx and Engels are still living and working in Paris; they take part in demonstrations, and are killed.
What is the affect on socialist thought -- is (violent) revolutionary socialism still viable? On economics -- do "scientific socialism" and "historic materialism" still become major ideas? On sociology? On anything else I forgot to mention?
