Quotation of the Day for May 5, 2018



"The bourgeoisie has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous 'cash payment'. It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation."

- Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, perhaps predicting Facebook. Marx was born 200 years ago, on May 5, 1818.
