Zitat des Tages über Marxismus / Marxism:

For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God. Lionel Blue

Marxism is the opium of the intellectuals.

Edmund Wilson

As the egalitarianism of Marxism is attractive to many, socialism could have attracted many followers in America, anyway. But there is no doubt that it could not possibly have affected us so widely and so deeply as it has, had it not been heavily financed.

B. Carroll Reece

Despite its flaws, Marxism still seems to explain the material world better than anything else.

Alexei Sayle

Of course, Marxism is an example of what Carl Popper would have called a 'World Three' structure, in that it's got immense power as an idea, but you couldn't actually hold up anything in the world and say: 'this is Marxism'.

Alan Moore

Every age has found some alternative to American values appealing. The number of Western intellectuals enamored of fascism and all the various expressions of Marxism was legion.

Dennis Prager

During the Reagan Administration, so much attention was devoted to fighting Marxism in Nicaragua and El Salvador that Washington lost sight of longer-term challenges in other countries.

Stephen Kinzer

For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.

Lionel Blue

In the Cold War, a lot of Soviet actions could be explained as extensions of Czarist imperial ambitions, but that didn't stop us from studying Marxism in theory and Communism in practice to better understand that adversary.

Michael Hayden

There's something about Marxism that brings out warts; the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.

P. J. O'Rourke

Global warming, like Marxism, is a political theory of actions, demanding compliance with its rules.

Paul Johnson

Marxism is a success because it fuses the two inconsistent strains in Western thought - moral skepticism and moral indignation - and makes them complements in the attack against existing society.

Paul Craig Roberts

The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development.

John Desmond Bernal

Marxism is a revolutionary worldview that must always struggle for new revelations.

Rosa Luxemburg

If people don't like Marxism, they should blame the British Museum.

Mikhail Gorbachev

Marxism conceives of the new system of socialism as the necessary outcome of all previous history made possible and necessary only by that previous history.

Earl Browder

Marxism is an interpretation of history which explains the progress of society as a product of the expansion of the forces of production of the material means of life, that is, the development of economy.

Earl Browder

I would say that all traditional philosophies up to and including Marxism have tried to derive the 'ought' from the 'is.' My point of view is that this is impossible; this is a farce.

Jacques Monod

At the same time, of course, Marxism arose - Rosa Luxembourg, Leninism, anarchism - and art became political.

Douglas Sirk

In the 1970s, many intellectuals had become political radicals. Marxism was correct, liberalism was for wimps, and Marx had pronounced that 'the ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.'

Steven Pinker

For us, Marxism is always open because there are always new xperiences, there are always new facts, including facts about the past, which have to be incorporated in the corpus of scientific socialism.

Ernest Mandel

The important part of Marxism was its demand for active, constant, practical, class-war.

Francis Parker Yockey

An excessive knowledge of Marxism is a sign of a misspent youth.

Darwin himself, in his day, was unable to fight free of the theoretical errors of which he was guilty. It was the classics of Marxism that revealed those errors and pointed them out.

Trofim Lysenko

Marxism is always open, always critical, always self-critical.

Beginning with adolescence, my political formation was oriented in the ideological direction of Marxism. It was natural, being that my thinking was influenced by an atmosphere of active critical resistance. That was the way it was during all of the dictatorship and up to the Revolution of 1974.

Jose Saramago

Marxism is essentially a product of the bourgeois mind.

Joseph A. Schumpeter

Very curious, at the age of about 13 years, Oswald began to study Marxism and he kept on in his writing, affirming that he was a Marxist. Probably he did want to show himself as a great, supreme Marxist.

John Sherman Cooper

I started work on my first French history book in 1969; on 'Socialism in Provence' in 1974; and on the essays in Marxism and the French Left in 1978. Conversely, my first non-academic publication, a review in the 'TLS', did not come until the late 1980s, and it was not until 1993 that I published my first piece in the 'New York Review.'

Tony Judt

The classics of Marxism, while fully appreciating the significance of the Darwinian theory, pointed out the errors of which Darwin was guilty. Darwin's theory, though unquestionably materialist in its main features, is not free from some serious errors.

Trofim Lysenko

As the class struggle sharpens in the U.S. Marxism will come into its own as a great popular study.

C. L. R. James

What guides Marxism, then, is a different model of society, and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it.

Jean-Francois Lyotard

Marxism is like a classical building that followed the Renaissance; beautiful in its way, but incapable of growth.

Even though the society that Marx foresaw is far from being an historical reality, Marxism has penetrated so deeply in history that we are all Marxists, one way or another, even unknowingly.

Octavio Paz

Marxism, communism, socialism - the ideologies - did not have the automatic answers to the problem of the relations between the lighter and darker races of mankind. They did not even have an answer to anti-Semitism.

Peter Abrahams

I would say I was still a Marxist - which is not to be confused with being a Communist. Despite its flaws, Marxism still seems to explain the material world better than anything else.

Alexei Sayle
