“It was Marx, and not History, that was determined to produce a social revolution, and his investigation of history was an attempt to find out the method by which it could be done. When that simple truth–as obvious to child as it is inaccessible to a Marxist–has once been acknowledged, the whole discussion loses its mystifying character at once.”
