More quotes by Karl Marx

Image
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
Image
If this labourer were in possession of his own means of production, and was satisfied to live as a labourer, he need not work beyond beyond the time necessary for the reproduction of his means of subsistence, say 8 hours a day.
Karl Marx
Image
If you can cut the people off from their history, then they can be easily persuaded.
Karl Marx
Image
The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.
Karl Marx
Image
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
Karl Marx
Image
The bureaucracy is a circle from which no one can escape. Its hierarchy is a hierarchy of knowledge.
Karl Marx
Image
Is a fixed income not a good thing? Does not everyone love to count on a sure thing? Especially every petty-bourgeois, narrow-minded Frenchman? the 'ever needy' man?
Karl Marx
Image
By the aristocracy of finance must here be understood not merely the great loan promoters and speculators in public funds, in regard to whom it is immediately obvious that their interests coincide with the interests of the state power. All modern finance, the whole of the banking business, is interwoven in the closest fashion with public credit.
Karl Marx
Image
The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
Karl Marx
Image
The unity of the bourgeoisie can be shaken only by the unity of the proletariat.
Karl Marx
Image
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.
Karl Marx
Image
The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It would perhaps be as well if things were to remain quiet for a few years yet, so that all this 1848 democracy has time to rot away.
Karl Marx
Image
There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery
Karl Marx
Image
But, you will say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.... The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.
Karl Marx
Image
A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality.
Karl Marx
Image
The rule of the bourgeois democrats [in pre-federal Germany], from the very first, will carry within it the seeds of its own destruction
Karl Marx
Image
The more powerful the work, the more powerless the worker.
