More quotes by Karl Marx

Image
Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.
Karl Marx
Image
Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.
Karl Marx
Image
Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
Karl Marx
Image
Capital brings forth living offspring, or at the least, lays the golden eggs.
Karl Marx
Image
Ideas do not exist separately from language.
Karl Marx
Image
In the eyes of dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred.
Karl Marx
Image
The task is not just to understand the world but to change it.
Karl Marx
Image
The redeeming feature of war is that it puts a nation to the test. As exposure to the atmosphere reduces all mummies to instant dissolution, so war passes supreme judgment upon social systems that have outlived their vitality.
Karl Marx
Image
The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.
Karl Marx
Image
The object of art like every other product creates a public which is sensitive to art and enjoys beauty.
Karl Marx
Image
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx
Image
A man cannot become a child again, or he becomes childish.
Karl Marx
Image
In the United States of North America, every independent movement of the workers was paralysed so long as slavery disfigured a part of the Republic. Labour cannot emancipate itself in the white skin where in the black it is branded.
Karl Marx
Image
The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
Karl Marx
Image
There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom, , etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.
Karl Marx
Image
The wealthy man is the man whois much, not the one who has much
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
I pre-suppose, of course, a reader who is willing to learn something new and therefore to think for himself.
Karl Marx
Image
You will have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles not only to bring about a change in society but also to change yourselves, and prepare yourselves for the exercise of political power.
Karl Marx
Image
Religious distress is at the same time the expression of the real distress and also the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of the spiritless condition. It is the opium of the people.
Karl Marx
