Until Now?

“History does not have many movements that, like Communism, began their climb with such high moral principles and with such devoted, enthusiastic, and clever fighters, attached to each other not only by ideas and suffering, but also by selfless love, comradeship, solidarity, and that warm and direct sincerity that can be produced only by battles in which men are doomed either to win or die. Cooperative efforts, thoughts, and desires; even the most intense effort to attain the same method of thinking and feeling, the finding of personal happiness and the building of individuality through complete devotion to the party and workers’ collective; enthusiastic sacrificing for others; care and protection for the young, and tender respect for the old - these are the ideals of true Communists when the movement is in its inception and still truly Communist.
Communist woman too is more than a comrade or co-fighter. It can never be forgotten that she, on entering the movement, decided to sacrifice all - the happiness of both love and of motherhood. Between men and women in the movement, a clean, modest and warm relationship is fostered: a relationship in which comradely care has become sexless passion. Loyalty, mutual aid, frankness and about even the most intimate thoughts - these are generally the ideas of true, ideal Communists.
This is true only while the movement is young, before it has tasted the fruits of power.
The road to the attainment of these ideals is very long and difficult. Communists and Communist movements are formed from varied social forced and centers. Internal homogeneity is not attained overnight, but through the fierce battles of varied groups and fractions. If conditions are favorable, the group or fraction which wins the battle is the one which has been most aware of the advance toward Communism and which, when taking over power, is also the most moral. Through moral crises, through political intrigues and insinuations, mutual calumniation, unreasoning hatred and barbaric encounters, through debauchery and intellectual decadence, the movement slowly climbs, crushing groups and individuals, discarding the superfluous, forging its core and its dogma, its morals and psychology, atmosphere, and manner of work.
When it becomes truly revolutionary, the Communist movement and its followers achieve, for a moment, the high moral standards described here. This is a moment in Communism when it is difficult to separate words from deeds, or more accurately, when the leading, most important, truest, and ideal Communists sincerely believe in their ideals and aspire to put them in to practice in their methods and in their personal life. This is the moment on the eve of the battle for power, a moment which occurs only in movements which arrive at this unique point.”

Milovan Djilas wrote this AS A COMMUNIST in 1957 about “The New Class.”

Barack Hussein Obama and his campaign used similar words in 2008. “This is our moment..... We are the one’s we have been waiting for... Hope and change... Yes, we Can. We will transform America. Vote or die.” Obama youth, Obama women, Obambots, Obama supporters ( freedom fighters? ) put him over the top.

Does anyone disagree?
