The proletarians have nothing to loose but their chains. They have a world to win.
Karl Marx

Taxes are the source of life for the bureaucracy, the army and the court, in short, for the whole apparatus of the executive power. Strong government and heavy taxes are identical.
Karl Marx
Image
The bureaucracy is a circle from which no one can escape. Its hierarchy is a hierarchy of knowledge.
Karl Marx

Wherever the want of clothing forced them to it, the human race made clothes for thousands of years, without a single man becoming a tailor.
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
The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille
Karl Marx
Image
Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.
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
The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.
Karl Marx
Image
The imaginary flowers of religion adorn man's chains. Man must throw off the flowers, and also the chains.
Karl Marx
Image
In short, competition has to shoulder the responsibility of explaining all the meaningless ideas of the economists, whereas it should rather be the economists who explain competition.
