More from Friedrich Engels
"The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat …"
"In bourgeois society, capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality."
"Only in the community with others has each individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions; only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible."
"The whole of human history is a process of development from the lower to the higher, from the simple to the complex."
"A proletarian forced to exist under such conditions is truly a being without will, without self-respect, without any sense of responsibility."
