More quotes by 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
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
Image
All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital , and allowed to live only so far as the interest to the ruling class requires it.
Karl Marx

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
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

Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.
Karl Marx

Karl Marx
Image
The English Established Church... will more readily pardon an attack on 38 of its 39 articles than on 1/39 of its income.
Karl Marx
Image
Is a fixed income not a good thing? Does not everyone love to count on a sure thing? Especially every petty-bourgeois, narrow-minded Frenchman? the 'ever needy' man?
Karl Marx
Image
Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, posses however, this distinctive feature it has simplified the class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other.
Karl Marx
Image
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.
Karl Marx
Image
History repeats itself, the first as tragedy, then as farce.
Karl Marx
Image
The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed.
Karl Marx
Image
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Karl Marx
Image
You will have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles not only to bring about a change in society but also to change yourselves, and prepare yourselves for the exercise of political power.
Karl Marx
Image
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
Karl Marx
Image
Only in community with others has each individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible.
Karl Marx
Image
And as for the Jews, who since the emancipation of their sect have everywhere put themselves, at least in the person of their eminent representatives, at the head of the counter-revolution -- what awaits them?
Karl Marx
Image
In the eyes of dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred.
