The context for that quote is a general outlay of the type of economic system Lenin was proposing (socialism). A system where no person is entitled to the fruits of another's labor, hence, if you don't work, you don't eat.

A system that democratically allocates surplus to help those in need and not line the pockets of the bourgeoisie.
