  • em 💌has quoted3 years ago
    Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.

    i wonder what Karl would think of today's overly capitalistic society and how most proletariats dont even have false class consciousness anymore but as a collective we dont really do anything (even myself)

    i wonder if he thought we would've achieved communism properly by now
