Vladimir Lenin:

We want to achieve a new and better order of society: in this new and better society there must be neither rich nor poor; all will have to work. Not a handful of rich people, but all working people must enjoy the fruits of their common labour. Machines and other improvements must serve to ease the work of all and to improve their welfare, and not to enable a few to get rich at the expense of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people. This new and better society is called socialist society.
