Status Updates From El manifiesto comunista

Prefácio à edição russa de 1882

“There is an epidemic of over-production. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation, had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed. And why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce.”

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
