There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom, , etc., that are common to all states of society.

Karl Marx

Karl Marx
Image
We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.
Karl Marx

History repeats itself, the first as tragedy, then as farce.
Karl Marx
Image
...the French Revolution gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order. The revolutionary movement which began in 1789... gave rise to the communist idea which Babeuf's friend Buonarroti re-introduced in France after the Revolution of 1830. This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order.

There is a physical relation between physical things. But it is different with commodities.
Karl Marx
Image
Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as it can solve since, looking at the matter more closely, we will always find that the task itself arises only when the material conditions necessary for its solution already exist or are at least in the process of formation.
