I am nothing and should be everything.
Karl Marx
Image
A heavy or progressive or graduated income tax is necessary for the proper development of Communism.
Karl Marx
Image
There is a physical relation between physical things. But it is different with commodities.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
In the national struggles of the proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring to the front the common interest of the entire proletariat, independently of all nationality.
Karl Marx

The social revolution...cannot draw its poetry from the past, but only from the future. It cannot begin with itself before it has stripped itself of all superstitions concerning the past.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Karl Marx
Image
A man cannot become a child again, or he becomes childish.
Karl Marx
Image
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
The essence of the free press is the reliable, reasonable and moral nature of freedom.
Karl Marx
Image
We know that violent measures against religion are nonsense but this is an opinion: as socialism grows, religion will disappear. Its disappearance must be done by social development, in which education must play a part.
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 theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Karl Marx
Image
He who before was the money owner, now strides in front as capitalist the possessor of labor-power follows as his laborer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business the other hesitant, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but a hiding.
Karl Marx
Image
Men can see nothing around them that is not their own image everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is alive.
Karl Marx
Image
In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
Karl Marx
