"Finally, in times when the class struggle nears the decisive hour, 
the progress of dissolution going on within the ruling class, in fact 
within the whole range of old society, assumes such a violent, 
glaring character, that a small section of the ruling class cuts 
itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that 
holds the future in its hands. Just as, therefore, at an earlier 
period, a section of the nobility went over to the bourgeoisie, so 
now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in 
particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised 
themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical 
movement as a whole."

Karl Marx, "Communist Manifesto"
