Karl Marx
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, that each time ended, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

Terry Eagleton
Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs.
Terry Eagleton, Why Marx Was Right
