Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
Karl Marx
Image
The aggregate capital appears as the capital stock of all individual capitalists combined. This joint stock company has in common with many other stock companies that everyone knows what he puts in, but not what he will get out of it.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image

All modern finance, the whole of the banking business, is interwoven in the closest fashion with public credit.
Karl Marx
Image
Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution.
Karl Marx
Image
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
Karl Marx
Image
Social reforms are never carried out by the weakness of the strong but always by the strength of the weak.
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
He who before was the money owner, now strides in front as capitalist the possessor of labor-power follows as his laborer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business the other hesitant, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but a hiding.
Karl Marx
Image
The world will be for the common people, and the sounds of Happiness will reach even the deepest springs.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.
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.
