Karl Marx: In His Own Words
"Money is the Jealous God of Israel, beside which no other God may exist.
Money abases all the gods of mankind and changes them into commodities.
The
god of the Jews has been secularized and has become the god of the world.
In
emancipating itself from hucsterism and money, and thus from real and
practical Judaism, our age would emancipate itself...by destroying the
empirical essence of Judaism, the Jew will become impossibe."

"Far from opposing the so-called excesses, those examples of popular
vengeance
against hated individuals or public buildings which have acquired hateful
memories, we must not only condone these examples but lend them a helping
hand."

Betrayer of the Peasantry
Marx denounced the proposal to give 160 acres of public land to each
peasant;
he said peasants should be recruited with promises of land, but once a
communist society was set up, land had to be collectively held.
