Image
Wherever the want of clothing forced them to it, the human race made clothes for thousands of years, without a single man becoming a tailor.
Karl Marx
Image
Even an entire society, a nation, or all simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not owners of the earth. They are simply its possessors, its beneficiaries, and have to bequeath it in an improved state to succeeding generations.
Karl Marx
Image
While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.
Karl Marx
Image
Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.
Karl Marx
Image
Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as it can solve since, looking at the matter more closely, we will always find that the task itself arises only when the material conditions necessary for its solution already exist or are at least in the process of formation.
Karl Marx
Image
The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.
Karl Marx

Just as the savage must wrestle with nature to satisfy his wants, to maintain and reproduce life, so must civilised man, and he must do so in all social formations and under all possible modes of production.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
Every provisional political set-up following a revolution requires a dictatorship, and an energetic dictatorship at that.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Karl Marx
Image
Perseus wore a magic cap that the monsters he hunted down might not see him. We draw the magic cap down over eyes and ears as a make-believe that there are no monsters.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
To be radical is to grasp things by the root.
Karl Marx
Image
Hitherto, every form of society has been based ... on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes.
Karl Marx
Image
The values of commodities are directly as the times of labor employed in their production, and are inversely as the productive powers of the labor employed.
Karl Marx
Image
Men make their own history but not in circumstances of their own choosing.
Karl Marx
