There was Utopia, there were dreams of making the world better way before and way after. A human race is an impatient one. We are glad at first snow, but then we get tired of it and want the Spring to come... And we are impatient in everything else.

Though we understand that we can't make spring come earlier than normal, or make more sunshine, or longer days and shorter nights, we do not really accept the concept of our limited powers. We do not accept that we are going to live less than 100 years...

We know that we all die, but we are tirelessly fighting to live longer, and we, actually, do stay longer on the face of the earth...

But it is absolutely a charm when it comes to the society. Here we have no doubt that we can run any course we can conceive, and if we are smart enough, we can not only avoid a big screw up, but we can expedite our sociopolitical development...

Christians (I think Jews also, but forgive me, I am clueless in Religion) got the Commandments. In 1961, on the XXII Congress of the Communist Party of the USSR under Nikita Khrushchev, they came up with the socialist version of the commandments, not 10 but 12. It was called The Moral Codex of the Builder of Communism.

1.  Allegiance to the cause of Communism, love to our Socialist motherland, and to Socialist Countries
2.  Diligently work for the public good. Who does not work, he does not eat.
3.  Everyone should care of preservation and growth of public property.
4.  Conscientiousness and acceptance of public interest as an obligation of the individual, intolerance to perpetrators of public interests
5.  Collectivism and brotherly help to each other. One for all and all for one.
6.  Humanity between people: a person to another person is a friend, comrade and brother.
7.  Sincerity and honesty, moral purity, simplicity and humbleness in social and personal life
8.  Mutual respect in the family, care of the new generation.
9.  Intolerance to injustice, parasitism, untruthfulness, careerism (making a career - JZ), money-making
10. Friendship and brotherhood of all the Nations of USSR, intolerance to racism
11. Intolerance to the enemies of Communism, enemies of peace and freedom of Nations
12. Brotherly solidarity with the workers of the world, with all nations

Sorry for very amateurish translation, I did not have an English version.

So, what wrong could have come out of this? Supposedly nothing.

Some very clever Russian (do not remember who it was) said about it, that the Codex was to build a new person. The person of the new coming era. That we worked hard on building it, and after many years we looked at ourselves in the mirror and we shuddered. We saw an ugly beast in the reflection.
