Marxism

In a letter to Friedrich Engels in 1882 Karl Marx wrote: "You know very well where we found our idea of class struggle; we found it in the work of the French historians who talked about the race struggle." - Quoted in Society Must be Defended by Michel Foucault.

Moses Hess in his "Epilogue" to "Rome and Jerusalem" argued that: "the race struggle is primary, the class struggle secondary... With the cessation of race antagonism, the class struggle will also come to a standstill."
