| opium of the people | опиум для народа (A catchphrase applied to religion: Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. – Karl Marx (1970 [1843]).  wikipedia.org) |
