Good Quote: On History Made by Capitalists
  • The bourgeoisie turns everything into a commodity, hence also the writing of history. It is part of its being, of its condition for existence, to falsify all goods: it falsified the writing of history. And the best — paid historiography is that which is best falsified for the purposes of the bourgeoisie.

    Frederick Engels, Born 28 November 1820

  • Spot-on. Lot of fairy tales about true, but lost capitalism instead of history.
