Socialists do not propose to substitute the domination of society by one privileged class for that of another. They seek to abolish class distinctions altogether. The abolition of classes is fundamental to the Socialist conception of society. Clement Attlee
Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class. George Bernard Shaw
I know of no privileged class of society, and I do not know an esquire has any privileges a yeoman has not. Charles Abbott, 1st Baron Tenterden
