Image
To destroy Christianity, we must first destroy the British Empire.
Karl Marx
Image
Even an entire society, a nation, or all simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not owners of the earth. They are simply its possessors, its beneficiaries, and have to bequeath it in an improved state to succeeding generations.
Karl Marx
Image
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
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.
Karl Marx

I am nothing and should be everything.
Karl Marx

Karl Marx
Image
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They open declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
Karl Marx
Image
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.

There is a physical relation between physical things. But it is different with commodities.

Free education for all children in public schools... Combination of education with industrial production
Karl Marx

Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.
Karl Marx
Image
If the labourer consumes his disposable time for himself, he robs the capitalist.
Karl Marx
Image
Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.
Karl Marx
Image
Be aware that the reward for labour, and quantity of labour, are quite disparate things.
Karl Marx
Image
Ideas do not exist separately from language.
Karl Marx

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
