More From Karl Marx

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. the class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. the ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

The struggle for socialism is the struggle for proletarian (working class) democracy. proletarian democracy is not the crown of socialism. socialism is the result of proletarian democracy. to the degree that the proletariat mobilizes itself and the great masses of the people, the socialist revolution is advanced. the proletariat mobilizes itself as a self-acting force through its own committees, unions, parties, and other organizations.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

What is drawing? how does one get there? it's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. how can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. in my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.

I bounce off four walls, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because i only sleep those four hours a day.

Our children will be born of our actions. our accidents will become their destinies. oh, the actions will remain. it is a simple matter of what you will do when the chips are down, my friend. when the fat lady is singing. when the walls are falling in, and the sky is dark, and the ground is rumbling. in that moment our actions will define us. and it makes no difference whether you are being watched by allah, jesus, buddah, or whether you are not. on cold days a man can see his breath, on a hot day he can't. on both occasions, the man breathes.
