Re: Marx Quote

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please,
they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under
circumstances directly found, given and transmitted from the past."

Marx
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
The Marx-Engels Reader, p595
