What do you think about these evil Marxist quotes?

The individual takes his or her place along the axis of freedom as an aspirant seeking liberation from the restrictive nature of his/her environment. Accordingly, the individual has certain needs that must be satisfied. The problem with many political and psychological interpretations of the individual is that these ideas are based, not upon the “liberation ideal” as such, but rather, on specific aspects of the liberation process. People have economic needs of course, but material gain is only one form of gratification; nevertheless, a person first encounters needs, which, in turn, become wants, which, in turn, necessitate access to one’s environment in order to satisfy theses desires. With the right kind of access to one’s environment, power, wealth, and fame, or, if you prefer, adventure, exploration, and love etc. become obtainable---but, all this entails a liberation process that extends all the way back to the origins of life, and/or if you think holistically, the origins of time. In other words, using "compion" as your guide, Marx had it right in a limited sense, while Smith had it right in a broader sense. Getting the right mix of the two is a "difficult" but ongoing process. Thanks for the question.
