Karl Marx a Socialist and journalist wrote in the late 1800's. Marx believed that change was inevitable. He believed that change was like evolution. It must be, therefore it will be. These are quotes from his writings.
Within the ruling-classes themselves, a foreboding is dawning, that the present society is no solid crystal, but an organism capable of change, and is constantly changing.
The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession and, at the same time, the immortal movement of its time.
Marx made these comments on history. He believed that history, even if it was true, was still the minds or thoughts of a time that no longer was relevant;
Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted from the past.
The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like an incubus on the brain of the living.
Marx made these comments on religion. Marx understood that religion was a crutch. The people could not deal with the society and went to the supernatural in an attempt to solve their problems. He also believed that religion was used to suppress the people, to make them accept their lot;
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the feeling of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of unspiritual conditions. It is the opium of the people.
The first requisite for the people's happiness is the abolition of religion.
