Marxism is the modern form of Jewish prophecy.

But my knowledge of Marxism was limited to knowing that Marx was a Jew, and that he had a long white beard. I said to Lunatcharsky (the political communist commissar for Education, 1918, fh) ‘Whatever you do, don’t ask me why I painted in blue or green, and why you can see a calf inside the cow’s belly, etc. On the other hand you’re welcome: if Marx is so wise, let him come back to life and explain it himself’. I showed him my canvases.

Many who have read Marxist books have become renegades from the revolution, whereas illiterate workers often grasp Marxism very well.

Marxism consists of thousands of truths, but they all boil down to one sentence: It is right to rebel.

Marxism comprises many principles, but in the final analysis they can all be brought back to a single sentence: it is right to rebel.
