". . . no credit is due to me for discovering either the existence of classes in modern society or the struggle between them. . . . What I did that was new was to demonstrate:
1)
2)
3)
that the existence of classes is
only bound up with particular
historical phases in the
development of production,
that the class struggle necessarily
leads to the dictatorship of the
proletariat,
that this dictatorship itself only
constitutes the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society."
Marx to J. Weydemeyer, March 5, 1852
