Revolution, according to Marx, requires class conflict and the overcoming of bourgeoise privilege. This small vintage drawing was found in a flea market in London and represents the stereotype of a domestic scene in a middle-class family. The juxtaposed text creates a short-circuit around the concept of class, that may be superficially understood as a matter of manner.
