132.) We have shown in the previous chapter how the democratized ideas and institutions have evolved over the last five centuries, and have ever emphasized the inexorableness of the political and social transformation from medieval feudalism with its three states to absolute monarchism and the French-English-American revolution, which, in political terms, has given us modern democratic constitutional freedom and social and economic relations to the rule of liberal bourgeoisie and the emergence of modern industrialism and capitalism. This resulted in the struggle for the fourth level and the struggle against its political, social and economic reohte from 1848 to the last wars. In 1917/18, the Russian revolution tried to bring the fourth state to power completely and not only to eliminate the last remnants of feudal status and feudality and aristocracy in all its forms, but also to put an end to the power of libera- len Birgertum, and to use a so-called casual society in which the broadest sections of the people as a whole were the real master of all their politics and their sanctifying economy, she explained this and saw it as an economic democracy, as a true people's government. The so-called dictatorship of the proletariat was to become a temporary institution until the time when the remains of all the former classes were absorbed and the classless society-sobaft fir the Zukunit was fully realized.
