The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record. ↗

For reforms ameliorate the situation of the working class, they lighten the weight of the chains labour is burdened with by capitalism, but they are not sufficient to crush capitalism and to emancipate the workers from their tyranny. ↗
