For him, socialism was a cause and C Level Contact List not a mere partisan affiliation. When he spoke of "democratic socialism" he was not referring, in an exclusive way, to a group of political organizations, but to a spirit and a belief that he summoned, not only in those organizations, but beyond them. Even if he had his own commitments – and his own contempt C Level Contact List for him, which were not few – he was willing to use the appellation “socialist” broadly. And in his essay he stated: I suggest that the true goal of socialism is not happiness. Until now, happiness C Level Contact List has been a spin-off effect, and for all we know, it may always be. The true goal of socialism is human brotherhood.
That is the general feeling, although it is not used to C Level Contact List saying it, or it is not said loud enough. Men give their lives to harrowing political struggles, or are killed in civil wars, or tortured in secret Gestapo prisons, not in order to install a paradise with C Level Contact List central heating, air conditioning and fluorescent lighting, but because they want a world in which human beings love each other instead of cheating and killing each other.1 Perhaps Orwell's C Level Contact List thought was utopian or even contained high doses of naivety.

As a political movement, it had been founded in that wake.
