Karl Marx

The true law of economics is chance, and we learned people arbitrarily seize on a few moments and establish them as laws.
Karl Marx
Image
As the chosen people bore in their features the sign manual of Jehovah , so the division of labour brands the manufacturing workman as the property of capital .
Karl Marx

When the labourer co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species.
Karl Marx
Image
The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised Jews, and what is more, a wonderful means whereby out of money to make more money.
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.
Karl Marx
Image
The redeeming feature of war is that it puts a nation to the test. As exposure to the atmosphere reduces all mummies to instant dissolution, so war passes supreme judgment upon social systems that have outlived their vitality.
Karl Marx
