The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.
Karl Marx

However, the two sides are not to be divided off as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.
Karl Marx

We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.
Karl Marx
Image
It is a bad thing to perform menial duties even for the sake of freedom to fight with pinpricks, instead of with clubs. I have become tired of hypocrisy, stupidity, gross arbitrariness, and of our bowing and scraping, dodging, and hair-splitting over words. Consequently, the government has given me back my freedom.
