Quote

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
Image
But, you will say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.... The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.
Karl Marx
Image
The imaginary flowers of religion adorn man's chains. Man must throw off the flowers, and also the chains.
Karl Marx
Image
There is a physical relation between physical things. But it is different with commodities.
