More quotes by Karl Marx
To be radical is to grasp things by the root.
Karl Marx
Every provisional political set-up following a revolution requires a dictatorship, and an energetic dictatorship at that.
Karl Marx
For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.
Karl Marx
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
My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.
Karl Marx
The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.
Karl Marx
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
The weapon of criticism can never replace the criticism of weapons.
Karl Marx
In my free time I do differential and integral calculus.
Karl Marx
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
When the labourer co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species.
Karl Marx
If production be capitalistic in form, so, too, will be reproduction.
Karl Marx
The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Karl Marx
Capitalist production does not exist at all without foreign commerce.
Karl Marx
The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.
Karl Marx
The essence of the free press is the reliable, reasonable and moral nature of freedom.
Karl Marx
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
The method of production of the material things of life generally determines the social, political and spiritual currents of life.
Karl Marx
In the various stages of development which the struggle of working class against the bourgeoisie has to pass through, they always and everywhere represent the interests of the movement as a whole.
Karl Marx
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
