More quotes by Karl Marx
We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
Karl Marx
Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.
Karl Marx
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
Social reforms are never carried out by the weakness of the strong but always by the strength of the weak.
Karl Marx
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
The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille
Karl Marx
The more of himself man attributes to God, the less he has left in himself.
Karl Marx
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx
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
Do not be deluded by the abstract word Freedom. Whose freedom? Not the freedom of one individual in relation to another, but freedom of Capital to crush the worker.
Karl Marx
The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley of ties that bound man to his natural superiors, and left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous cash payment.
Karl Marx
I am a machine, condemned to devour them and then, throw them, in a changed form, on the dunghill of history.
Karl Marx
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
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
Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!
Karl Marx
The Jews of Poland are the smeariest of all races.
Karl Marx
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
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
All I know is that I am not a Marxist.
Karl Marx
Wages are determined by the bitter struggle between capitalist and worker.
Karl Marx
