The bourgeoisie cannot exist ...

The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

Parliamentary cretinism: that...

Parliamentary cretinism: that peculiar malady which since 1848 has raged all over the Continent, which holds those infected by it fast in an imaginary world and robs them of all sense, all memory, all understanding of the rude external world.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

Merely quantitative differenc...

Merely quantitative differences,
beyond a certain point,
pass into qualitative changes.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

We cannot tell by looking at ...

We cannot tell by looking at the diamond that it is a commodity. When it serves as a use-value, asthetic or mechanical, on the breast of a harlot, or in the hand of a glasscutter, it is a diamond and not a commodity.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

The directing motive, the end...

The directing motive, the end and aim of capitalist production, is to extract the greatest possible amount of surplus value, and consequently to exploit labor-power to the greatest possible extent.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

All social life is essentiall...

All social life is essentially practical. All mysterious which lead theory to mysticism find their rational solution in human practice and in the comprehension of the practice.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

All science would be superflu...

All science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly coincided.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

As a beast of toil an ox is f...

As a beast of toil an ox is fixed capital. If he is eaten, he no longer functions as an instrument of labour, nor as fixed capital either.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

The will of the capitalist is...

The will of the capitalist is certainly to take as much as possible. What we have to do is not to talk about his will, but to enquire about his power, the limits of that power, and the character of those limits.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

In proportion as capital accu...

In proportion as capital accumulates, the lot of the laborer, be his payment high or low, must grow worse.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

The better shaped his product...

The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

The materialist doctrine that...

The materialist doctrine that men are products of circumstances and upbringing, and that, therefore, changed men are products of other circumstances and changed upbrinding, forgets that it is men that change circumstances and that the educator himself needs educating.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

Both for the production on a ...

Both for the production on a mass scale of this communist consciousness, and for the success of the cause itself, the alteration of men on a mass scale is necessary, an alteration which can only take place in a practical movement, a revolution; this revolution is necessary, therefore, not only because the ruling class cannot be overthrown in any other way, but also because the class overthrowing it can only in a revolution succeed in ridding itself of all the muck of ages and become fitted to found society anew.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

There is one great fact, char...

There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

The bourgeoisie, wherever it ...

The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley of ties that bound man to his "natural superiors," and left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous "cash payment.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

Titles of property, for insta...

Titles of property, for instance railway shares, may change hands every day, and their owner may make a profit by their sale even in foreign countries, so that titles to property are exportable, although the railway itself is not.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

The Communist revolution is t...

The Communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involves the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

If one wants to be an ox one ...

If one wants to be an ox one can easily turn one's back on hum suffering and look after one's own skin.

Karl Marx 444 quotes

Surplus-value and the rate of...

Surplus-value and the rate of surplus-value are... the invisible essence to be investigated, whereas the rate of profit and hence the form of surplus-value as profit are visible surface phenomena

In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.
