More quotes by Karl Marx
Ideas do not exist separately from language.
Karl Marx
Surplus-value and the rate of surplus-value are... the invisible essence to be investigated, whereas the rate of profit and hence the form of surplus-value as profit are visible surface phenomena
Karl Marx
Hitherto, every form of society has been based ... on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes.
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
The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.
Karl Marx
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx
And as for the Jews, who since the emancipation of their sect have everywhere put themselves, at least in the person of their eminent representatives, at the head of the counter-revolution -- what awaits them?
Karl Marx
Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.
Karl Marx
Anyone wanting a new house picks one from among those built on speculation or still in process of construction. The builder no longer works for his customers but for the market.
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
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Karl Marx
But there is a devil of a difference between barbarians who are fit by nature to be used for anything, and civilized people who apply them selves to everything.
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
Money is the alienated essence of man's work and existence this essence dominates him and he worships it.
Karl Marx
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
Karl Marx
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.
Karl Marx
In reality, the labourer belongs to capital before he has sold himself to capital.
Karl Marx
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.
Karl Marx
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
When commercial capital occupies a position of unquestioned ascendancy, it everywhere constitutes a system of plunder.
Karl Marx
