" "

Our ultimate aim is to bring about the existence of a state of society in which all persons who for one reason or another have lost the capacity for work, all those who are unable to work, shall have assured support. We must ensure that old people shall enjoy a peaceful old age in which they will be provided with all the comforts of life; that children shall have everything suitable to their requirements; that invalids and cripples shall be able to live in the circumstances most appropriate to their condition; that those who are wearied and overworked shall be placed in curative surroundings, where they will receive all the care that used to be given to the wealthy bourgeois who were ailing; that no one shall any longer be perpetually harassed with anticipation of hard times.

About Nikolai Bukharin

Nikolai Bukharin (9 October 1888 {27 September O.S.} – 15 March 1938) was a Bolshevik revolutionary and theorist. Initially a Left Bolshevik, Bukharin became a leading proponent of the New Economic Policy re-introducing some market institutions. He later allied with Joseph Stalin after the death of Vladimir Lenin and supported his doctrine of "socialism in one country" and purge of Leon Trotsky. However, he was removed from government after opposing Stalinist policies such as collectivization and the end of the NEP in 1929. He was reelected to the Central Committee in 1934, but then was executed on charges of treason during the Great Purge. .

Additional quotes by Nikolai Bukharin

One of the worst forms of national enmity is antisemitism, that is to say, racial hostility towards the Jews, who belong to Semitic stock (of which the Arabs forms another great branch). The Tsarist autocracy raised the hunt against the Jews in the hope of averting the workers' and peasants' revolution.
