Both Marx and Christ agree that in this life, a right action is consideration for the welfare of others.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The right to choose to live or to die is the most fundamental right there is; conversely, the duty to give others that opportunity to the best of our ability is the most fundamental duty there is.
I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.
Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.
In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church. We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods.
I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.
There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.
But we must create in each person a sense of responsibility in order that each one of us can have the right to enjoy all his rights.
From this it follows that con-sideration for other persons or for other living beings is very vital for goodness and want of consideration for other people makes human beings selfish, regardless for other people's good.
If being rightwing is thinking that Karl Marx's doctrine was a catastrophe for humanity, then I'm rightwing.
It has been the acknowledged right of every Marxist scholar to read into Marx the particular meaning that he himself prefers and to treat all others with indignation.
