Edvard Kardelj about Happiness
"Happiness cannot be brought by the state, nor by the system, nor by a political party. Man is the only one who can create happiness. Therefore, the avant-garde forces of socialism and socialist society may have only one goal - depending on the opportunities offered by a given historical moment, to create an environment where man will be as free as possible in his personal expression and creation and be able - based on the social ownership of the means of production — to work freely and create for personal happiness. This is self-government.”
