More quotes by Karl Marx
Society is a sort of organism on the growth of which conscious efforts can exercise little effect.
Karl Marx

Karl Marx
Taxes are the source of life for the bureaucracy, the army and the court, in short, for the whole apparatus of the executive power. Strong government and heavy taxes are identical.
Karl Marx
A circuit performed by a capital and meant to be a periodical process, not an individual act, is called its turnover. The duration of this turnover is determined by the sum of its time of production and its time of circulation.
Karl Marx
The working men have no country. We cannot take away from them what they have not got
