In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

But capitalist production begets,with the inexorability of a law of Nature,its own negation. It is the negation of negation.
Karl Marx
Image
Bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness for those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything, do not work.
Karl Marx
Image
Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.
Karl Marx
Image
The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.
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.

Ideas do not exist separately from language.
Karl Marx
Image
The existence of the state is inseparable from the existence of slavery.
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

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
