...the French Revolution gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order. The revolutionary movement which began in 1789... gave rise to the communist idea which Babeuf's friend Buonarroti re-introduced in France after the Revolution of 1830. This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order.

Karl Marx
Image
May the devil take these peoples movements, especially when they are 'peaceful'.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
When commercial capital occupies a position of unquestioned ascendancy, it everywhere constitutes a system of plunder.
Karl Marx
Image
I pre-suppose, of course, a reader who is willing to learn something new and therefore to think for himself.
Karl Marx
Image
If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, binding me and nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds? Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, the universal agent of separation?
Karl Marx
Image
Since labour is motion, time is its natural measure.
Karl Marx
Image
As, in religion, man is governed by the products of his own brain, so in capitalistic production, he is governed by the products of his own hand.
Karl Marx
Image
Society is a sort of organism on the growth of which conscious efforts can exercise little effect.
