"An increase in the productivity of labour..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“Science and democracy are the right and left hands of what I'll refer to as the move from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom.”

“If this labourer were in possession of his own means of production, and was satisfied to live as a labourer, he need not work beyond beyond the time necessary for the reproduction of his means of subsistence, say 8 hours a day.”

“All forms of the state have democracy for their truth, and for that reason are false to the extent that they are not democracy”

“Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.”

“The real measure of success is the number of experiments that can be crowded into 24 hours.”

“The only time not wasted is wasted time.”

“I do not regard capital to be the enemy of labour.”

“Capital and labor are both wild forces which require intelligent legislation to hold them in restriction.”

“He who before was the money owner, now strides in front as capitalist; the possessor of labor-power follows as his laborer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business; the other hesitant, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but a hiding.”
