Monarchy/history

Famous quotes containing the words monarchy and/or history:

“People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)

“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
