"In a world
marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk
about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that
democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So
long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy
for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and
promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals.
The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and
its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual
abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of
exploitation, oppression and inequality." |
