" Money is thus the general overturning of individualities…
and adds contradictory attributes...for the entire objective
world of man and nature, from standpoint of its possessor
[money] it therefore serves to exchange every property for
every other, even contradictory property and object...It makes
contractions embrace.
Assume man to be man and his relationship to
the world to be a human one: then you can exchange
love for only love, trust for trust… your real individual…
evoking love in return… does not produce reciprocal love…
then your love is impotent— a misfortune. "
