More quotes by Karl Marx

Image
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
Image
If production be capitalistic in form, so, too, will be reproduction.
Karl Marx
Image
All I know is that I am not a Marxist.
Karl Marx
Image
The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
Karl Marx
Image
I am a machine, condemned to devour them and then, throw them, in a changed form, on the dunghill of history.

One capitalist always kills many.
Karl Marx
Image
Political economy regards the proletarian like a horse, he must receive enough to enable him to work. It does not consider him, during the time when he is not working, as a human being. It leaves this to criminal law, doctors, religion, statistical tables, politics, and the beadle.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
Moments are the elements of profit
Karl Marx
Image
The worker puts his life into the object but now it no longer belongs to him, it belongs to the object.
Karl Marx
Image
The working men have no country. We cannot take away from them what they have not got
Karl Marx
Image
Music is the mirror of reality.
Karl Marx
Image
In the United States of North America, every independent movement of the workers was paralysed so long as slavery disfigured a part of the Republic. Labour cannot emancipate itself in the white skin where in the black it is branded.
Karl Marx
Image
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.
Karl Marx
Image
Wages are determined by the bitter struggle between capitalist and worker.
