The communist story explained history as a struggle among different classes, and envisioned a world in which all groups are united by a centralised social system that ensures equality even at the price of freedom.

The liberal story explained history as a struggle between liberty and tyranny, and envisioned a world in which all people co-operate freely and peacefully, with minimum central control even at the price of some inequality.
