there is a passage in the annotation of the seventh section of the so-called primitive accumulation in Chapter 24 of Marx's Das Kapital. The original text is as follows: "The Quarterly Commentator said that it is timid for capital to escape turmoil and disputes. This is of course true, but it is not a complete truth. Like nature is said to be afraid of a vacuum, capital is afraid of situations where there is no profit or the profit is too small. As soon as there is a proper profit, capital will be very courageous. As long as there is a profit of 1%, it will be used everywhere; 2%, it will be lively; 5%, it will lead to positive adventure; 1% will make people disregard all laws; 3%, it will make people not afraid of crime, even the danger of hanging their heads. If turmoil and disputes will bring profits, it will encourage them. Smuggling and the slave trade are evidence. (Dunninger: Trade Unions and Strikes, p. 36) "(See Capital, Volume I, p. 839, People's Publishing House, 1958).
Although this is not Marx's famous saying, it will not affect the objectivity, fairness, science and splendor of the above statement in the least. Marx used it as a comment to explain that the primitive accumulation of capitalism was full of "original sin" and the greed of capital. Judging from the primitive accumulation process of capital, it is full of blood and filth at the cost of sacrificing morality, challenging the law and despising human nature. "Capital comes into the world, that is, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and dirty things." At the same time, Marx took Dunninger's description of capital's crazy pursuit of profits as a comment on his own exposition.
