Karl Marx

• I am not a Marxist.
• Democracy is the road to socialism.
• For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.
• From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
• Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending.
• Religion is the opium of the people.
• History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.
• History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
• Atheism is a negation of God, and by this denial, it posits the existence of man.
• Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.
• Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
• Nothing can have value without being an object of utility.
