QUOTE UNQUOTE

Over at Histomat, Snowball wishes us a happy new year by quoting the anti-capitalist dictum par excellence:

The slave frees himself when, of all the relations of private property, he abolishes only the relation of slavery and thereby becomes a proletarian; the proletarian can free himself only by abolishing private property in general.

- Frederick Engels, The Principles of Communism, 1847
