Karl Marx also said...


It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.
Karl Marx / 





The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.
Karl Marx - Theses on Feuerbach / 





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.
Karl Marx / 





Our wants and pleasures have their origin in society; we therefore measure them in relation to society; we do not measure them in relation to the objects which serve for their gratification. Since they are of a social nature, they are of a relative nature.
Karl Marx - Wage Labour and Capital / 





When people speak of ideas that revolutionize society, they do but express the fact that within the old society, the elements of a new one have been created, and that the dissolution of the old ideas keeps even pace with the dissolution of the old conditions of existence.
Karl Marx





It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
Karl Marx
