hmmm interesting observation! why do you think that is? /gen

my guess is maybe the leftists who adopted the term from Engels are primarily english speakers (could be wrong)

It could be that, but probably it's mostly related to the fact that German Wikipedia, while big, doesn't match the English one in size. Some more obscure topics just aren't on there for no reason other than that it just didn't happen.
