The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    The Jews always complained, kvetching about false gods, and erected the
    biggest false God, Jehovah, in middle of western civilization.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    O animal excellence,
    Take pterodactyl flight
    Fire-winged into the air
    And find your lair
    With cunning sense
    On some Arabian bight....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
