Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.

Advances in science help to delegitimize the rule of kings and the power of the Church.
Karl Marx
Image
Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.
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
From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
Karl Marx
Image
Language comes into being, like consciousness, from the basic need, from the scantiest intercourse with other human.
Karl Marx
Image
Wages are determined by the bitter struggle between capitalist and worker.
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.
