Mascara Azteca blog, http://www.blogger.com/profile/3582567 http://machetazo.blogspot.com/2004/07/lenin-straight-edge-from-my-heart.html Lenin, "The revolution demands concentration, increase of forces. From the masses, from individuals. It cannot tolerate orgiastic conditions, such as are normal for the decadent heroes and heroines of DAnnunzio. Dissoluteness in sexual life is bourgeois, is a phenomenon of decay. The proletariat is a rising class. It doesn’t need intoxication as a narcotic or a stimulus. Intoxication as little by sexual exaggeration as by alcohol. It must not and shall not forget, forget the shame, the filth, the savagery of capitalism. It receives the strongest urge to fight from a class situation, from the Communist ideal. It needs clarity, clarity, and again clarity. And so I repeat, no weakening, no waste, no destruction of forces. Self-control, self-discipline is not slavery, not even in love."

You can find the Lenin's quote in "Lenin on the Women's Question" by Clara Zetkin. Check it at http://www.marxist.com/women/Lenin_on_women.html -- Michael Pugliese
