In the conditions of the proletariat, those of old society at large are already virtually swamped. The proletarian is without property; his relation to his wife and children has no longer anything in common with the bourgeois family relations; modern industrial labour, modern subjection to capital, the same in England as in France, in America as in Germany, has stripped him of every trace of national character. Law, morality, religion, are to him so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois interests.
Burzuazija začenja svoje dolged mastne prste vtikat v vse v čemer je vsaj kanček moznosti dobička! Religija, pravo in druge idelologije postanejo trzno fetišizirane. Kapitalizem je nenehni boj, kolo, ki se nenehno obrača - tudi, ko je bil še v zibelki, burzuazija ni popuščala.. Tako dolgo je hlipala in se vlekla v nadajne boje, da je so njeni nasprotniki (vseh hoda) v boju izgubili svoj karakter.
