I am Karl Marx … Why am I hiding under this sheet? Oh, that’s a long story – it’s the story of the class struggle, which is not only a long but also a sad story. But let’s see if we can’t produce a happy end for it. Otherwise why tell the end of a story if you can’t change it to make everybody happy?

Karl Marx

Born in Trier, 5 May 1818; died in London, 14 March 1883.

"The merit of Marx is that he suddenly produces a qualitative change in the history of social thought. He expresses a revolutionary concept: the world must not only be interpreted, it must be transformed. Man ceases to be the slave and tool of his environment and converts himself into the architect of his own destiny." (Che Guevara)

"He is the last of the great system-builders, the successor of Hegel, a believer, like him, in a rational formula summing up the evolution of mankind." (Bertrand Russell)

"We develop new principles for the world out of the world’s own principles. We do not say to the world: Cease your struggles, they are foolish; we will give you the true slogan of struggle. We merely show the world what it is really fighting for, and consciousness is something that it has to acquire, even if it does not want to." (Karl Marx)
