“The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly
declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of
all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a
Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their
chains. They have a world to win.”
~ The Communist Manifesto
