More quotes by 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
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
If one wants to be an ox one can easily turn one's back on hum suffering and look after one's own skin.
Karl Marx
All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital , and allowed to live only so far as the interest to the ruling class requires it.
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
The English Established Church... will more readily pardon an attack on 38 of its 39 articles than on 1/39 of its income.
Karl Marx
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
The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe.
Karl Marx
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
If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, binding me and nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds? Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, the universal agent of separation?
Karl Marx
The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
Karl Marx
Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.
Karl Marx
The aggregate capital appears as the capital stock of all individual capitalists combined. This joint stock company has in common with many other stock companies that everyone knows what he puts in, but not what he will get out of it.
Karl Marx
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.
Karl Marx
Men make their own history but not in circumstances of their own choosing.
Karl Marx
Bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness for those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything, do not work.
Karl Marx
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
Karl Marx
In every stockjobbing swindle every one knows that some time or other the crash must come, but every one hopes that it may fall on the head of his neighbor, after he himself has caught the shower of gold and placed it in safety.
Karl Marx
So long as the product is sold, everything is taking its regular course from the standpoint of the capitalist producer.
Karl Marx
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
