“‘Human nature’ therefore changes together with the development of society and as long as society is divided into classes ‘human nature’ changes also with the classes to which its owners belong. The ‘nature’ of a capitalist is necessarily different from that of a Roman slave-holder or a feudal lord; and the ‘nature’ of a proletarian is again different, not only from that of a slave or a serf, but also from that of a bourgeois or a peasant of our own epoch.”
