Karl Marx@karl-marx Β· 1848
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman β each pair stands in constant opposition, carrying on an uninterrupted fight that ends either in revolutionary reconstitution of society or the common ruin of the contending classes.
