Try to suggest words that are lofty, communist, and insightful. (Not, snarky, cynical, goofy, shallow, obvious....dogmatic.) -------------------- reconceive as we regroup

Some of my favorite Marx quotes I could look up quickly...

QUOTE

Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution.

-Marx, Private Property and Communism

QUOTE

In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.

-Marx, German Ideology

QUOTE

History does nothing, it �possesses no immense wealth�, it �wages no battles�. It is man, real, living man who does all that, who possesses and fights; �history� is not, as it were, a person apart, using man as a means to achieve its own aims; history is nothing but the activity of man pursuing his aims..

-Marx, The Holy Family

QUOTE

Revolutions are the locomotives of history.

-Marx & Engels, Class Struggle in France

QUOTE

The tradition of all dead generations weighs like an nightmare on the brains of the living.

-Marx, 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

QUOTE

History is the judge � its executioner, the proletarian.

-Marx, spoken in 1856.

QUOTE

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

-Marx, Capital Volume III (posthumous)

Rosa Lichtenstein

Marx:

QUOTE

The emancipation of the working class will be an act of the workers themselves.

--------------------

Hegelism is like a mental disease -- you cannot know what it is until you get it, and then you can't know because you have got it -- Max Eastman.

QUOTE

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval.

The second sentence of that is one of the more comical quotes from Marx, look it up.

He cannot fire you because of your gender. He cannot fire you because of your sexual preference or your disability. He can just fire you for no reason at all." I think we know where she is coming from............but it won't all fit on my T-shirt......!!!
