***** By heralding the dissolution of the hereto existing world order, the proletariat merely proclaims the secret of its own existence, for it is the factual dissolution of that world order. By demanding the negation of private property, the proletariat merely raises to the rank of a principle of society what society has raised to the rank of its principle, what is already incorporated in it as the negative result of society without its own participation. (Marx, "Introduction to A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right," at <http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1843/critique-hpr/intro.htm>) *****
