"…one man is king only because other men stand in the relation of subjects to him. They, on the other hand, imagine that they are subjects because he is king"

-Karl Marx, Das Kapital Vol I (London: NLR/Penguin, 1976) footnote to p.149, C.f. Hegel Science of Logic 409-11: “…although the determinations of reflection have the form of equality-with-self and therefore of being unrelated to another and without opposition, yet they are determinate against one another… opposed to one another, they contradict one another and mutually sublate themselves.”
