That's what Eugene Lyons said about 30-something Americans who were talking about Communism--Stalinism, at the time.

...They had not the remotest idea what communism was in terms of economic structures or political superstates. For nearly all of them it was an intoxicated state of mind, a glow of inner virtue, and a sort of comradeship of super-charity.”...

Apparently that was temporary.
