If one prevents a man from working for the good of society while at the same time providing for the satisfaction of his own needs, then only one way remains open to him: to make himself richer and others poorer by the violent oppression and spoliation of his fellow men. Ludwig Von Mises
About This Quote

Socialism and communism are the biggest evils to mankind. Marx and Lenin said that we all have to become rich and we all have to be equal. If we all become rich, then no one will be poor, but if any of us becomes richer, then we will make everyone else poorer. This is the way to make everyone equal, but if we all become equal, do we still need to work? We all know that working is one of the ways that we can improve ourselves and develop our skills.
