Image
All our inventions have endowed material forces with intellectual life, and degraded human life into a material force.
Karl Marx
Image
Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.
Karl Marx
Image
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
Karl Marx
Image
The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living human individuals. Thus the first fact to be established is the physical organisation of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.
Karl Marx
Image
The proletarians have nothing to loose but their chains. They have a world to win.
Karl Marx
Image
There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its luminous summits. (Preface to the French edition).
Karl Marx
Image
There is no greater stupidity than for people...to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.
Karl Marx
Image
My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.
Karl Marx
Image
There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery
Karl Marx
Image
The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope.
Karl Marx
Image
In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.
Karl Marx
Image
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.
Karl Marx
Image
To be radical is to grasp things by the root.
Karl Marx
Image
The values of commodities are directly as the times of labor employed in their production, and are inversely as the productive powers of the labor employed.
Karl Marx
Image
An organised system of machines, to which motion is communicated by the transmitting mechanism from a central automation, is the most developed form of production by machinery.
Karl Marx
Image
With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the fact of the world and see the collapse of this pygmy giant. Then will I wander god-like and victorious through the ruins of the world. And giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.
Karl Marx
Image
Communism begins where atheism begins.
Karl Marx
Image
Anyone wanting a new house picks one from among those built on speculation or still in process of construction. The builder no longer works for his customers but for the market.
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.
