Karl Marx
Image
We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.

Karl Marx
Image
The burgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all nations into civilization.
Karl Marx
Image
There is no greater stupidity than for people...to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.
Karl Marx
Image
In every stockjobbing swindle every one knows that some time or other the crash must come, but every one hopes that it may fall on the head of his neighbor, after he himself has caught the shower of gold and placed it in safety.
Karl Marx
Image
You will have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles not only to bring about a change in society but also to change yourselves, and prepare yourselves for the exercise of political power.
Karl Marx
Image
The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed.
Karl Marx
Image
The bureaucracy takes itself to be the ultimate purpose of the state
Karl Marx
Image
From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
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.
