Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inhistory, literature, PolliticsTags:, , , ,

“You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society.”

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, “The Communist Manifesto”, 1848.
