The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.

All history has been a history of class struggles between dominated classes at various stages of social development.

You have to look at history as an evolution of society.

There is a noble and a base side to every history.

In most of history, societies have not been free. It's a very rare society that is free. The default condition of human societies is tyranny.

History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.

There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life. And one of these is the history of political power. This is elevated into the history of the world.

We are not merely historians but also and always citizens.
