“The abolition of existing property relations is not at all a distinctive feature of communism. All property relations in the past have continually been subject to historical change consequent upon the change in historical conditions. The French Revolution, for example, abolished feudal property in favour of bourgeois property.”

Karl Marx (via guerrillanetwork)

I think this gets at the critical insight that I took from studying Marx - our social relations were radically different in the past, and there is no reason to expect that they wont be radically different in the future. The temptation to view the status quo as natural or necessary should be resisted. (via interruptions)
