Biography


The compelling motive for the ideal aims of the proletariat is the class struggle. The evolution of capitalist production determines the form and trend of this class struggle. And the slogan of the revolutionary proletariat is henceforth no longer “Lord help us!” but “Proletarians of all countries, unite!”

From Science and Revolution (1905)
