More quotes by Karl Marx
In proportion therefore, as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wage decreases.
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
The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
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
A nation that enslaves another forges its own chains.
Karl Marx
The full man does not understand the wants of the hungry
Karl Marx
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx
All history is nothing but a continuous transformation of human nature.
Karl Marx
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They open declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
Karl Marx
Taxes are the source of life for the bureaucracy, the army and the court, in short, for the whole apparatus of the executive power. Strong government and heavy taxes are identical.
Karl Marx
Wages are determined by the bitter struggle between capitalist and worker.
Karl Marx
[T]he task of abolishing the essence of Jewry is in truth the task of abolishing Jewry in civil society, abolishing the inhumanity of today's practice of life, the summit of which is the money system.
Karl Marx
Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution.
Karl Marx
All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital , and allowed to live only so far as the interest to the ruling class requires it.
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
We know that violent measures against religion are nonsense but this is an opinion: as socialism grows, religion will disappear. Its disappearance must be done by social development, in which education must play a part.
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
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
In reality, the labourer belongs to capital before he has sold himself to capital.
Karl Marx
Work is external to the worker. . . . It is not part of his nature consequently he does not fulfill himself in his work but denies himself. . . . The worker therefore feels himself at home only during his leisure time, whereas at work he feels homeless.
Karl Marx
