Citáty Friedrich Engels
„Hegel jako první správně postihl vztah mezi svobodou a nutností. Svoboda je pro něj vhled do nutnosti.“
— Friedrich Engels, kniha Anti-Dühring
Často překládáno jako „Svoboda je poznaná nutnost.“
Anti-Dühring, 1. díl, 11. kapitola (1878)
Source: Originál: Hegel war der erste, der das Verhältnis von Freiheit und Notwendigkeit richtig darstellte. Für ihn ist die Freiheit die Einsicht in die Notwendigkeit. »Blind ist die Notwendigkeit nur, insofern dieselbe nicht begriffen wird.« http://www.mlwerke.de/me/me20/me20_032.htm#Kap_XI
Sám Engels asi interpretoval následující pasáž z Philosophische Propädeutik: (G.W.F. Hegel: Philosophische Propädeutik. Zweiter Kursus. Mittelklasse. Phänomenologie des Geistes und Logik. §61.) Der Zusammenhang der Akzidenzen in der Substanz ist ihre Notwendigkeit. Sie ist die Einheit der Möglichkeit und Wirklichkeit. Die Notwendigkeit ist blind, insofern der Zusammenhang bloß ein innerer ist, oder insofern das Wirkliche nicht zugleich vorher als an sich seiende Einheit seiner Bestimmungen vorhanden ist, sondern aus der Beziehung derselben erst resultiert. https://www.marxists.org/deutsch/philosophie/hegel/propaed/k2-2-logik.htm
„Everywhere the proletariat develops in step with the bourgeoisie. In proportion, as the bourgeoisie grows in wealth, the proletariat grows in numbers.“
— Friedrich Engels, kniha Principles of Communism
Principles of Communism (1847), Context: Everywhere the proletariat develops in step with the bourgeoisie. In proportion, as the bourgeoisie grows in wealth, the proletariat grows in numbers. For, since the proletarians can be employed only by capital, and since capital extends only through employing labor, it follows that the growth of the proletariat proceeds at precisely the same pace as the growth of capital. Simultaneously, this process draws members of the bourgeoisie and proletarians together into the great cities where industry can be carried on most profitably, and by thus throwing great masses in one spot it gives to the proletarians a consciousness of their own strength. Moreover, the further this process advances, the more new labor-saving machines are invented, the greater is the pressure exercised by big industry on wages, which, as we have seen, sink to their minimum and therewith render the condition of the proletariat increasingly unbearable. The growing dissatisfaction of the proletariat thus joins with its rising power to prepare a proletarian social revolution.
„Having destroyed the social power of the nobility and the guildmasters, the bourgeois also destroyed their political power. Having raised itself to the actual position of first class in society, it proclaims itself to be also the dominant political class. This it does through the introduction of the representative system which rests on bourgeois equality before the law and the recognition of free competition, and in European countries takes the form of constitutional monarchy. In these constitutional monarchies, only those who possess a certain capital are voters – that is to say, only members of the bourgeoisie. These bourgeois voters choose the deputies, and these bourgeois deputies, by using their right to refuse to vote taxes, choose a bourgeois government.“

Principles of Communism (1847)
„Since the management of industry by individuals necessarily implies private property, and since competition is in reality merely the manner and form in which the control of industry by private property owners expresses itself, it follows that private property cannot be separated from competition and the individual management of industry. Private property must, therefore, be abolished and in its place must come the common utilization of all instruments of production and the distribution of all products according to common agreement – in a word, what is called the communal ownership of goods.“
— Friedrich Engels, kniha Principles of Communism
Principles of Communism (1847)
„I forsook the company and the dinner-parties, the port-wine and champagne of the middle-classes, and devoted my leisure-hours almost exclusively to the intercourse with plain working men; I am both glad and proud of having done so. Glad, because thus I was induced to spend many a happy hour in obtaining a knowledge of the realities of life—many an hour, which else would have been wasted in fashionable talk and tiresome etiquette; proud, because thus I got an opportunity of doing justice to an oppressed and calumniated class of men who with all their faults and under all the disadvantages of their situation, yet command the respect of every one but an English money-monger.“
— Friedrich Engels
The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 (1845), p. 27
„Wherever big industries displaced manufacture, the bourgeoisie developed in wealth and power to the utmost and made itself the first class of the country. The result was that wherever this happened, the bourgeoisie took political power into its own hands and displaced the hitherto ruling classes, the aristocracy, the guildmasters, and their representative, the absolute monarchy. The bourgeoisie annihilated the power of the aristocracy, the nobility, by abolishing the entailment of estates – in other words, by making landed property subject to purchase and sale, and by doing away with the special privileges of the nobility. It destroyed the power of the guildmasters by abolishing guilds and handicraft privileges. In their place, it put competition – that is, a state of society in which everyone has the right to enter into any branch of industry, the only obstacle being a lack of the necessary capital.“
