Moments are the elements of profit
Karl Marx
Image
Price, taken by itself, is nothing but the monetary expression of value.
Karl Marx
Image
The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living human individuals. Thus the first fact to be established is the physical organisation of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.
Karl Marx
Image
With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the fact of the world and see the collapse of this pygmy giant. Then will I wander god-like and victorious through the ruins of the world. And giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

Karl Marx
Image
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.
Karl Marx
Image
I am stretching out this volume, since those German dogs estimate the value of books by their cubic contents.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.
Karl Marx
Image
A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality.
Karl Marx
Image
The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.
Karl Marx
Image
Anyone wanting a new house picks one from among those built on speculation or still in process of construction. The builder no longer works for his customers but for the market.
Karl Marx
Image
Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.
