“Property, in its present form, is based on the antagonism of capital and wage-labour. Let us examine both sides of this antagonism. To be a capitalist, is to have not only a purely personal, but a social status in production.

Capital is, therefore, not a personal, it is a social power.”
“The [rich], wherever [they have] got the upper hand, [have] put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. [They have] pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors,” and [have] left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous “cash payment.”” (Marx)
