If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist.
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

The full man does not understand the wants of the hungry
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
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
The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living human individuals. Thus the first fact to be established is the physical organisation of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.
Karl Marx
Image
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
Image
The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope.
Karl Marx
Image
It's possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way.

I pre-suppose, of course, a reader who is willing to learn something new and therefore to think for himself.
