'''Claim''' (06:45): "Marx said that [slavs] must perish in a revolutionary holocaust in 1856" The quote shown on screen is as follows: "the classes and races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give away... They must perish in a revolutionary holocaust." The first part is a real quote, | '''Claim''' (06:45): ''"Marx said that [slavs] must perish in a revolutionary holocaust (in 1856)"'' The quote shown on screen is as follows: "the classes and races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give away... They must perish in a revolutionary holocaust." The first part is a real quote, from 1853, not 1856. So close! Marx is commenting on the refugees of poor farmers from Ireland due to the negative effects off industrialisation. He sees these negative effects as an inevitable part of capitalist modernisation, so he is, in his own mind, not arguing for anything.<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1853/03/04.htm"Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way."</ref> The second part is completely fictional, perhaps it was revealed to Tobias B. in a dream.
