The working class is revolutionary or it is nothing.
Karl Marx
Image
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 burgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all nations into civilization.
Karl Marx
Image
The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
Karl Marx
Image
Money does not arise by convention, any more than the state does. It arises out of exchange, and arises naturally out of exchange it is a product of the same.
Karl Marx
Image
We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
Karl Marx

Karl Marx
Image
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
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
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

The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.
Karl Marx
Image
While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.
Karl Marx

Philosophy studies the world, but the point is to change it.
Karl Marx
Image
The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille
Karl Marx

The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope.
Karl Marx

It would perhaps be as well if things were to remain quiet for a few years yet, so that all this 1848 democracy has time to rot away.
