More quotes by Karl Marx
Free education for all children in public schools... Combination of education with industrial production
Karl Marx
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
History repeats itself, the first as tragedy, then as farce.
Karl Marx
We know that violent measures against religion are nonsense but this is an opinion: as socialism grows, religion will disappear. Its disappearance must be done by social development, in which education must play a part.
Karl Marx
Money does not arise by convention, any more than the state does. It arises out of exchange, and arises naturally out of exchange it is a product of the same.
Karl Marx
May the devil take these peoples movements, especially when they are 'peaceful'.
Karl Marx
The religious world is but a reflex of the real world.
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
Political economy regards the proletarian like a horse, he must receive enough to enable him to work. It does not consider him, during the time when he is not working, as a human being. It leaves this to criminal law, doctors, religion, statistical tables, politics, and the beadle.
Karl Marx
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
What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.
Karl Marx
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
Karl Marx
While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.
Karl Marx
The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar.
Karl Marx
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
It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.
Karl Marx
Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.
Karl Marx
Men can see nothing around them that is not their own image everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is alive.
Karl Marx
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
In the national struggles of the proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring to the front the common interest of the entire proletariat, independently of all nationality.
Karl Marx
