...the French Revolution gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order.

This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order.

Karl Marx

Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.
