Karl Marx
Image
The more powerful the work, the more powerless the worker.
Karl Marx
Image
Hitherto, every form of society has been based ... on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes.

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

Karl Marx
Image
If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, binding me and nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds? Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, the universal agent of separation?
Karl Marx
Image
Since labour is motion, time is its natural measure.
Karl Marx
Image
Society is a sort of organism on the growth of which conscious efforts can exercise little effect.
Karl Marx
Image
Gold is now money with reference to all other commodities only because it was previously, with reference to them, a simple commodity.
Karl Marx
Image
In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
Karl Marx
Image
Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex.
Karl Marx
Image
Political economy regards the proletarian like a horse, he must receive enough to enable him to work. It does not consider him, during the time when he is not working, as a human being. It leaves this to criminal law, doctors, religion, statistical tables, politics, and the beadle.
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.
