Quotes by Karl Korsch  (?)

“The bourgeois standpoint has to stop in theory where it has to stop in social practice — as long as it does not want to cease being a 'bourgeois' standpoint altogether, in other words supersede itself.”
Karl Korsch, Marxism and Philosophy

“Isto [violenta contradição ideológica com o marxismo] já valia para a primeira fase histórica em que, segundo a pertinente análise feita por trotski em 1908, a doutrina marxista serviu - precisamente enquanto instrumento ideológico - para reconciliar a intelectualidade russa com o desenvolvimento capitalista, uma intelectualidade até então saturada do 'espírito bakuninista de negação total da cultura capitalista'.”
Karl Korsch, Marxism and Philosophy

“The real contradiction between Marx's scientific socialism and all bourgeois philosophy and sciences consists entirely in the fact that scientific socialism is the theoretical expression of a revolutionary process, which will end with the total abolition of these bourgeois philosophies and sciences, together with the abolition of the material relations that find their ideological expression in them.”
Karl Korsch, Marxism and Philosophy
