And this evil anti-social aspect of Jewry has grown to a stage at which: it must necessarily collapse.
Karl Marx

Religion is the opium of the masses.
Karl Marx

I am greatly pleased with the public, authentic isolation in which we two, you and I, now find ourselves. It is wholly in accord with our attitude and our principles.
Karl Marx

The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley of ties that bound man to his natural superiors, and left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous cash payment.
Karl Marx

One of the most difficult tasks confronting philosophers is to descend from the world of thought to the actual world.
Karl Marx
Image
On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.
Karl Marx
Image
But capitalist production begets,with the inexorability of a law of Nature,its own negation. It is the negation of negation.
Karl Marx
Image
The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Karl Marx
Image
The method of production of the material things of life generally determines the social, political and spiritual currents of life.
Karl Marx
Image
But, you will say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.... The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.
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.
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
Constant labor of one uniform kind destroys the intensity and flow of a man's animal spirits, which find recreation and delight in mere change of activity.
