Do away at last with the nobles,
Do away with the tsar as well,
Take the land for common owners,
Let your vengeance forever swell
Against Church and marriage and family,
And all the old world's villainy.
AND in the book From Under The Rubble...
"The basic propositions of the socialist world view have often been proclaimed: the abolition of private property, religion and the family. One of the principles is the demand for equality and the destruction of the hierarchy into which society has arranged itself.
Each belongs to all, and all to each. All are slaves and equal in slavery. First, there will be a drop in the standard of education, in learning and talent. A high level of learning and talent is available only to the very brainy. We must abolish the brainy! The brainy have always seized power and been despots. We will execute or exile them. We will cut out Cicero's tongue, gouge out Copernicus's eyes, stone Shakespeare to death - that's Shigalyovism! There must be equality in the herd.
Childbirth and relations between the sexes are under the absolute control of the authorities. The individual family, marriage and the familial rearing of children do not exist. Children do not know their parents and are brought up by the state. All that is permitted in art are works which contribute to the education of the citizens in the spirit required by the state."
So writes Alexander Solzhenistsyn regarding the socialism of the future.
