Excerpt from The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844: With Appendix Written 1886, and Preface 1887

In European countries, it took the working class years and years before they fully realized the fact that they formed a distinct' and, unde1 the existing social conditions, a permanent class of modern society; and it took years again until this class-consciousness led them to form themselves into a distinct political party, independent of, and opposed to, all the old political parties formed by the vari ous sections of the ruling classes. On the more favored soil of America, where no mediaeval ruins bar the way, where history begins with the elements of modern bourgeois society as evolved in the seventeenth century, the working class passed through these two stages of its development within ten months.
