- The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and lookedup to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet,the man of science, into its paid wage labourers.The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced thefamily relation to a mere money relation....
- Modern Industry has converted the little workshop of the patriarchal master into the greatfactory of the industrial capitalist. Masses of labourers, crowded into the factory, areorganised like soldiers. As privates of the industrial army they are placed under thecommand of a perfect hierarchy of officers and sergeants. Not only are they slaves of thebourgeois class, and of the bourgeois State; they are daily and hourly enslaved by themachine, by the overlooker, and, above all, by the individual bourgeois manufacturerhimself.
- When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during Its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.
