If I negate powdered wigs, I am still left with unpowdered wigs.
Karl Marx
Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.
Karl Marx
Labor in the white skin can never free itself as long as labor in the black skin is branded.
Karl Marx
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.
Karl Marx
You will have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles not only to bring about a change in society but also to change yourselves, and prepare yourselves for the exercise of political power.
Karl Marx
Religion is the opiate of the people.
Karl Marx
He who before was the money owner, now strides in front as capitalist the possessor of labor-power follows as his laborer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business the other hesitant, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but a hiding.
Karl Marx

Karl Marx
The class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Karl Marx
Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
Karl Marx
The bureaucracy takes itself to be the ultimate purpose of the state
Karl Marx
It's possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way.
Karl Marx
All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital , and allowed to live only so far as the interest to the ruling class requires it.
Karl Marx
Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven't said enough. To his housekeeper, who urged him to tell her his last words so she could write them down for posterity.
Karl Marx
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
Karl Marx
There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom, , etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.
Karl Marx
The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.
Karl Marx
Capital brings forth living offspring, or at the least, lays the golden eggs.
Karl Marx
The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope.
Karl Marx
History calls those men the greatest who have ennobled themselves by working for the common good experience acclaims as happiest the man who has made the greatest number of people happy.
Karl Marx
