CytatyKarl MarxGerman economist & Communist political philosopher (1818 - 1883)From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.It is not the consciousness of men that determines their beeing, but on the contrary, it is their social being that determines their consciousness. One of the most difficult tasks confronting philosophers is to descend from the world of thought to the actual world. Language is the immediate actuality of thought. Just as philosophers have given thought an independent existence, so they were bound to make language into an independent realm. Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex. Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form. Religion is the opiate of the masses. The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them. The philosophers have already perceived the world in various ways; the point is to change it. The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living. Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains. |
