Karl Marx and Marxism

Icon
Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.
-Karl Marx

Capital is money, capital is commodities… By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
– Karl Marx

Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.
—Karl Marx

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
– Karl Marx
