Karl Marx on Family

On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie.”

                        – Karl Marx

 

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.

                        – Karl Marx

 

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.

                        – Karl Marx

 

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.

                        - Karl Marx

 

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

                        – Karl Marx

 

Change the economic base and you will change human beings.

                        – Karl Marx
