Wednesday's Quotation

Moses Hess (1812-1875) was a German socialist who exercised considerable influence over karl Marx, among others. Here's something he wrote in 1843:

"Without revolution no new history can begin....
History has already broken through the closed circle
of slaver. The revolution is the break from captivity,
from the condition of bigotry and oppression in which
the spirit found itself before it became self-conscious."
