More quotes by Karl Marx

Karl Marx
[T]he task of abolishing the essence of Jewry is in truth the task of abolishing Jewry in civil society, abolishing the inhumanity of today's practice of life, the summit of which is the money system.
Karl Marx
The bureaucracy is a circle from which no one can escape. Its hierarchy is a hierarchy of knowledge.
Karl Marx
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Karl Marx
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
When commercial capital occupies a position of unquestioned ascendancy, it everywhere constitutes a system of plunder.
Karl Marx
The method of production of the material things of life generally determines the social, political and spiritual currents of life.
Karl Marx
The weapon of criticism can never replace the criticism of weapons.
Karl Marx
