More quotes by Karl Marx
As, in religion, man is governed by the products of his own brain, so in capitalistic production, he is governed by the products of his own hand.
Karl Marx
There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom, , etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.
Karl Marx
Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex.
Karl Marx
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole
Karl Marx
So long as the product is sold, everything is taking its regular course from the standpoint of the capitalist producer.
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
The working class is revolutionary or it is nothing.
Karl Marx
The social revolution...cannot draw its poetry from the past, but only from the future. It cannot begin with itself before it has stripped itself of all superstitions concerning the past.
Karl Marx
...the very cannibalism of the counterrevolution will convince the nations that there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror.
Karl Marx
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx
Russia is a name usurped by the Muscovites. They are not Slavs they do not belong to the Indo-Germanic race at all, they are des intrus [intruders], who must be chased back across the Dnieper, etc.
Karl Marx
Moments are the elements of profit
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
The Jews of Poland are the smeariest of all races.
Karl Marx
Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.
Karl Marx
[T]he task of abolishing the essence of Jewry is in truth the task of abolishing Jewry in civil society, abolishing the inhumanity of today's practice of life, the summit of which is the money system.
Karl Marx
By the aristocracy of finance must here be understood not merely the great loan promoters and speculators in public funds, in regard to whom it is immediately obvious that their interests coincide with the interests of the state power. All modern finance, the whole of the banking business, is interwoven in the closest fashion with public credit.
Karl Marx
The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Karl Marx
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.
Karl Marx
