Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundation for the New Psychology: Explanation of the Existing Class Conflict Between Capital and Labor and Method of Eliminating It "However much the state of things may have altered during the last twenty-five years (or a century for that matter), the general principles laid down in this Manifesto are, on the whole, as correct today as ever. Here and there some detail might be improved. The practical application of the principles will depend, as the manifesto itself states, everywhere and at all times, on the historical conditions for the time being existing." "That proposition is: that in every historical epoch, the prevailing mode of economic production and exchange, and the social organization necessarily following from it, form the basis upon which is built up, and from which alone can be explained, the political and intellectual history of that epoch; that consequently the whole history of mankind (since the dissolution of primitive tribal society, holding land in common ownership) has been a history of class struggles, contest between exploiting and exploited, ruling and oppressed classes; that the history of these class struggles forms a series of evolution in which, now-adays, a stage has been reached where the exploited and oppressed class the proletariat - cannot attain its emancipation from the sway of the exploiting and ruling class - the bourgeoisie (property owing class) - without, at the same time, and once and for all, emancipating society at large from all exploitation, oppression, class-distinctions and class-struggles."
