“Slavery may change its form or its name – its essence remains the same. Its essence may be expressed in these words: to be a slave is to be forced to work for someone else, just as to be a master is to live on someone else’s work.”

— Mikhail Bakunin, “Rousseau’s Theory of the State”

From The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852)

“Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.”

— Marx, 1852
