The Marx quote is a noble undertaking that we know is only exploited by the human element. It works perfectly in the insect world!

Marxism is not that bad! Jefferson was not all that good.
According to Jefferson's actions:
"All Men are Created Equal" means all white men, blacks are only 2/3rds equal, and black women are great for captive concubines!

Now, I love Jefferson, and I am not so fond of Marx, but both men were great visionaries, and I believe both men wanted the best for mankind. There lofty thought processes were later bastardized by men driven by greed and self-promotion.
I can say with conscious truth that there is not a man on earth who would sacrifice more than I would, to relieve us from this heavy reproach [slavery], in any practicable way. the cession of that kind of property, for so it is misnamed, is a bagatelle [a small matter] which would not cost me in a second thought, if, in that way, a general emancipation and expatriation could be effected: and, gradually, and with due sacrifices, I think it might be. but, as it is, we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go. justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other.
