“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”
― Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

“The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”
― Karl Marx, The German Ideology / Theses on Feuerbach / Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy

“Labor in the white skin can never free itself as long as labor in the black skin is branded.”
― Karl Marx, Das Kapital/Das kommunistische Manifest
