Communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both.

All freed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.

As, in religion, man is governed by the products of his own brain, so in capitalistic production, he is governed by the products of his own hand.

The worker puts his life into the object; but now it no longer belongs to him, it belongs to the object.

The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.
