“Mr. Marx does not believe in God, but he believes deeply in himself. His heart is filled not with love but with rancor. He has very little benevolence toward men and becomes… furious and… spiteful… when anyone dares question the omniscience of the divinity whom he adores, that is to say, Mr. Marx himself.”

– fellow communist Mikhail Bakunin, who was wrong about many things but not Karl Marx.
