Friedrich Engels Communist Manifesto

Falling under the same "spell" as the bourgeoisie did themselves, the new rulers can satisfy their own desires while governing a body of people who are much more subdued. This passivity comes from the feeling of their supposed victory over the bourgeoisie which has, in reality, really just created a much more efficient work force and because of their own blindness, they cannot see that while their rulers may have changed, their oppression remains the same.

The World And Ideas Of Karl Marx

Musical sound and gesture reach the heart directly without any deviation... Music cannot be meta lingual, because a song cannot say specifically what the language in music is. I be...
