"Does it require deep intuition to comprehend that man’s ideas, views, and
conception, in one word, man’s consciousness, _changes_ ( emphases added -
CB)with every _change_ in the conditions of his material existence, in his
social relations and in his social life?
What else does the history of ideas prove, than that intellectual production
_changes_ its character in proportion as material production is changed? The
ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.
When people speak of the ideas that revolutionise society, they do but express
that fact that within the old society the elements of a new one have been
created, and that the dissolution (change) of the old ideas keeps even pace
with the dissolution ( change) of the old conditions of existence."
