“Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species”

“The world would not be in such a snarl, had Marx been Groucho instead of Karl.”

“Even as rigorous a determinist as Karl Marx, who at times described the social behaviour of the bourgeoisie in terms which suggested a problem in social physics, could subject it at other times to a withering scorn which only the presupposition of moral responsibility could justify.”

“What does Karl Marx put on his pasta? Communist Manipesto!”

“Karl Marx: "Religion is the opiate of the masses."Carrie Fisher: "I did masses of opiates religiously.”

“The obvious differences apart, Karl Marx was no more a reliable prophet than was the Reverend Jim Jones. Karl Marx was a genius, an uncannily resourceful manipulator of world history who shoved everything he knew, thought, and devised into a Ouija board from whose movements he decocted universal laws. He had his following, during the late phases of the Industrial Revolution. But he was discredited by historical experience longer ago than the Wizard of Oz: and still, great grown people sit around, declare themselves to be Marxists, and make excuses for Gulag and Afghanistan.”
