FG/LAB - The regressive March to oblivion

The 19th century theorist Louis-Auguste Blanqui wrote:-"Humanity," "is never stationary. It advances or goes backwards. Its progressive march leads it to equality. Its regressive march goes back through every stage of privilege to human slavery, the final word of the right to property." Further, he wrote, "I am not amongst those who claim that progress can be taken for granted, that humanity cannot go backwards."
