"The definite condition under which they produce, thus corresponds, as long as the contradiction has not yet appeared, to the reality of their conditioned nature, their one-sided existence, the one-sidedness of which only becomes evident when the contradiction enters on the scene and thus only exists for the later individuals. This condition appears as accidental fetter, and the consciousness that it is a fetter is imputed to the earlier age as well."
What? I think it means that when the common routine is interrupted by a new and different method, it becomes a constraint to their way of living, and is ultimately blamed on their predecesors.

After reading Stacy's response i can see how this part was hard to grasp. I agree with her analysis on this quote when she says how the common routine of the everyday person has been interrupted. So once that 'contadiction' comes into your life it alters your routine of your everday life. So until that change in your life comes along everybody else will only see one side of you.
