Karl Marx

Man makes religion, religion does not make man
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
So far no chemist has ever discovered exchange-value either in a pearl or a diamond.
Karl Marx
Image
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
Karl Marx
Image
Last words are for those fools who believe they have not yet said enough.
Karl Marx
