Marx to Kugelmann, 1870:

The average English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers wages and the standard of life. [...] He regards him practically in the same way the poor whites in the southern states of North America regard the black slaves. This antagonism between the proletarians in England is artificially nourished and kept alive by the bourgeoisie. It knows that this split is the true secret of maintaining its power. [...] Finally, England today is seeing a repetition of what happened on a gigantic scale in ancient Rome. A nation that enslaves another forges its own chains.

A nation that enslaves another forges its own chains.

The reason why Americans don't do anything. The United States is the modern English empire.

Time is a flat circle. History repeats and rhymes because the constant is humanity.

The constant is imperialism and class. We have technically been without both for most of the time modern homo sapiens have been around.
