Love this man's phrase. There also are a lot of things I don't support from him, but his phrase, OF COURSE YES!
Thanku very much for sharing, I love the concept in this composition.

Taken out of historical context, then, we see this quote take on very nearly the opposite of its intended meaning. Opiates - with the possible exception of morphine - are now seen as a great poison, a cancer upon society, and generally one of the greatest evils known to mankind today. In the context of the early 21st century and not the year in which Karl Marx said this, then, this quote has precisely the meaning you interpreted it as having, but Marx did not live now, he lived then.
Now, as for the artistic merits of the piece itself, well-done. It has almost exactly the same dramatic feel as the propaganda posters of the 1940s warning that every person of Japanese descent wanted to kill America, or perhaps the overblown paranoia of the posters and PSAs from Nixon's War on Drugs.

If I add something of yours to my favorites but don't comment, all it means is that I've got nothing to say, but want to show my appreciation for something good. I know you want good, honest critique - so do I - but I think silence is better than spam.
But as I said in the beginning, I'm no fan of Marx and just wanted to explore the possibilities of the quote itself within, as you rightly pointed out, a 1940s framework.

By the way, is that face in your avatar the Pope? Terribly unfortunate-looking fellow, but somehow the crop makes him look less creepy.
