Looking for a quote from Marx...

[barista.marxista]

I'm looking for a specific quote from Marx, that I can't seem to find. It goes along the lines of "Communism isn't an an ideal in the far future, but is the movement building it". Can anyone help me out here?

I found the quote with more searching. For anyone who's interested:


Originally posted by Marx
Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.
-- German Ideology, "Idealism and Materialism"

While I appreciate the spirit of the quote, I don't know why you feel you have to quote Marx. Why don't you just write what YOU think, and sign it with YOUR name?

maybe for the exact opposite reason you posted that reply: he doesn't like to hear himself talk.

chimx: "then maybe you should cut your hair and get a job."

Floyce White: "Please do not address me in that manner. I am not your employee."

I already asked you nicely not to talk down to me. I cannot tell you what to say or how to say it, but if you cannot address me with at least common courtesy, then do not address me at all.
