thepeoplesrecord: Some of my favorite Marxist quotes: “I don’t want you to follow me or anyone else. If you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of the capitalist wilderness, you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into this promised land if I could because if I could lead you in, someone else could lead you out.” — Eugene V. Debs “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.” – Karl Marx “Without a guiding organization, the energy of the masses would dissipate like steam not enclosed in a piston-box. But nevertheless what moves things is not the piston or the box, but the steam.” – Leon Trotsky “For Marxists, alienation doesn’t describe an emotional condition, but an economic and social reality of class society. Marxist alienation refers to the way in which work and the products of our work are outside our control and dominate us.” - Sherry Wolf “A nation cannot become free and at the same time continue to oppress other nations. The liberation of Germany cannot therefore take place without the liberation of Poland from German oppression.” - Friedrich Engels “Most of us own neither the tools and machinery we work with nor the products that we produce—they belong to the capitalist that hired us. But everything we work on and in at some point comes from human labor. The irony is that everywhere we turn, we are confronted with the work of our own hands and brains, and yet these products of our labor appear as things outside of us, and outside of our control. Work and the products of work dominate us, rather than the other way around. Rather than being a place to fulfill our potential, the workplace is merely a place we are compelled to go in order to obtain money to buy the things we need.” -Paul D’Amato
