Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte | Karl Marx
1 post | 3 read | 2 to read
A sequel and climax to 0030-X (above). Marx's discussion of the coup d'etat of Napoleon's nephew is an example of mature historical materialist analysis, based on the class struggle in France and the interplay of political and social forces on the state.

“Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce...Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.”
