I am nothing but I must be everything.
Karl Marx
Image
Is a fixed income not a good thing? Does not everyone love to count on a sure thing? Especially every petty-bourgeois, narrow-minded Frenchman? the 'ever needy' man?
Karl Marx

The bureaucracy takes itself to be the ultimate purpose of the state
Karl Marx
Image
Every provisional political set-up following a revolution requires a dictatorship, and an energetic dictatorship at that.
