NOTE: This is a historical typing, so quotes are the basis of this typing conclusion.
Marx: "The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property."
Marx: "The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain."
Marx: "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."
Marx: "Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form."
Marx: "Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!"
Marx: "Nothing can have value without being an object of utility."
Marx: "In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality."
Marx: "The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles."
Marx: "The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force."
Marx: "The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people."
Marx: "Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity."
Marx: "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."
Marx: "Religion is the opium of the masses."
Marx: "Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer."
Marx: "Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand."
Marx: "Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex."
Marx: "The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together."
Marx: "Democracy is the road to socialism."
Marx: "Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand."
Marx: "Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included."
Marx: "The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class."
Marx: "Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks."
Marx: "Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer."
Marx: "The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion."
Marx: "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."
Marx: "The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs."
Marx: "Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state."
