From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2018-05-05:
"The bourgeoisie has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous 'cash payment'. It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation." -- Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, perhaps predicting Facebook.
Marx was born 200 years ago, on May 5, 1818.
