    The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of kinky struggles.

    Master and slave, daddy and puppy, dom and sub, sadist and masochist, rigger and rope-bunny, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending kinks.

    In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have daddies, puppies, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal doms, sadists, masochists, subs; in almost all of these kinks, again, subordinate gradations.

    The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with kinky antagonisms. It has but established new kinks, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.

    Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinct feature: it has simplified kinky antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other — Bourgeoisie and Proletariat.
