Karl Marx

Karl Marx

Men make their own history but not in circumstances of their own choosing.
Karl Marx
Image
The state is based on this contradiction. It is based on the contradiction between public and private life, between universal and particular interests. For this reason, the state must confine itself to formal, negative activities.
Karl Marx
Image
Labor in the white skin can never free itself as long as labor in the black skin is branded.
Karl Marx

Language comes into being, like consciousness, from the basic need, from the scantiest intercourse with other human.
Karl Marx

So in Jewry we recognise a contemporary universal anti-social phenomenon, which has reached its present pitch through a process of, historical development in which the Jews have zealously co-operated. And this evil anti-social aspect of Jewry has grown to a stage at which: it must necessarily collapse.
