In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.

Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex.

...the realm of freedom does not commence until the point is passed where labor under the compulsion of necessity and of external utility is required.

Nothing is more tedious than the dreaming platitude.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!

Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge.
