More quotes by Karl Marx

Image
The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe.
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
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx
Image
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
Karl Marx
Image
...the French Revolution gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order. The revolutionary movement which began in 1789... gave rise to the communist idea which Babeuf's friend Buonarroti re-introduced in France after the Revolution of 1830. This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order.
Karl Marx
Image
Price, taken by itself, is nothing but the monetary expression of value.
Karl Marx
Image
In capitalist society spare time is acquired for one class by converting the whole life-time of the masses into labour-time.
Karl Marx
Image
Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.
Karl Marx
Image
Value, therefore, does not stalk about with a label describing what it is.
Karl Marx
Image
The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
Karl Marx
Image
In reality, the labourer belongs to capital before he has sold himself to capital.
Karl Marx
Image
As, in religion, man is governed by the products of his own brain, so in capitalistic production, he is governed by the products of his own hand.
Karl Marx
Image
In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.
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 English Established Church... will more readily pardon an attack on 38 of its 39 articles than on 1/39 of its income.
Karl Marx
Image
The national debt has given rise to joint stock companies, to dealings in negotiable effects of all kinds, and to agiotage , in a word to stock-exchange gambling and the modern bankocracy .
Karl Marx
Image
Man makes religion, religion does not make man
Karl Marx
Image
The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.
Karl Marx
Image
What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.
Karl Marx
Image
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
Karl Marx
