As the chosen people bore in their features the sign manual of Jehovah, so the division of labour brands the manufacturing workman as the property of capital.

The capitalist buys labour-power in order to use it; and labour-power in use is labour itself. The purchaser of labour-power consumes it by setting the seller of it to work.

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

The capitalist mode of production and accumulation, and therefore capitalist private property, have for their fundamental condition the annihilation of self - earned private property: in other words, the expropriation of the labourer.

When the labourer co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species.

In capitalist society spare time is acquired for one class by converting the whole life-time of the masses into labour-time.
