On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.

More quotes by Karl Marx
In short, competition has to shoulder the responsibility of explaining all the meaningless ideas of the economists, whereas it should rather be the economists who explain competition.
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
Language comes into being, like consciousness, from the basic need, from the scantiest intercourse with other human.
Karl Marx
The bureaucracy is a circle from which no one can escape. Its hierarchy is a hierarchy of knowledge.
Karl Marx
The working men have no country. We cannot take away from them what they have not got
Karl Marx
The burgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all nations into civilization.
Karl Marx
In proportion therefore, as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wage decreases.
Karl Marx
Political economy regards the proletarian like a horse, he must receive enough to enable him to work. It does not consider him, during the time when he is not working, as a human being. It leaves this to criminal law, doctors, religion, statistical tables, politics, and the beadle.
Karl Marx
The world will be for the common people, and the sounds of Happiness will reach even the deepest springs.
Karl Marx
Money degrades all the gods of man and converts them into commodities.
Karl Marx
The imaginary flowers of religion adorn man's chains. Man must throw off the flowers, and also the chains.
Karl Marx
The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley of ties that bound man to his natural superiors, and left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous cash payment.
Karl Marx
The Jews of Poland are the smeariest of all races.
Karl Marx
Nothing has changed in Russias policy. Her methods, her tactics, her maneuvers may change, but the pole starworld dominationis immutable.
Karl Marx
The state is based on this contradiction. It is based on the contradiction between public and private life, between universal and particular interests. For this reason, the state must confine itself to formal, negative activities.
Karl Marx
History repeats itself, the first as tragedy, then as farce.
Karl Marx
If the labourer consumes his disposable time for himself, he robs the capitalist.
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
Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.
Karl Marx
Communism begins where atheism begins.
