#3 Movement- from the verb to move

Oswald Mosley said back in 1938 that great aims require great sacrifice, as then what is the point to struggle, fight and even die something that is not worth for. As any other political and social movement- our aims can be only achieved through action and hard work. Many people who today associate them with the far-right and the nationalist movement, particularly young see it only as a musical scene or a club of fellow-thinking people. Thinking is what makes us different from animals, believing is what unites us, but without acting, the first two are pointless. A belief has no moral weight if it is not backed up by action, consequently a movement that consists only of believers and talkers will never succeed in achieving its aims. Saying on every corner how we love our people, our culture, our soil, for which our ancestors fought and died for means nothing, unless a person proves his true belief in what he stands for by action.
Passiveness is unacceptable, but everybody turn a blind eye to it, what even makes the situation much worse. You here the word comrade on every step, but people forgot the meaning of this word. People think that numbers are a key to success and make their slogans under which they stand more and more vague and populist to attract numbers, rather than stick to the true cause, in spite the fact that concerning some issues some parts of the society, who are not enough educated yet - do not understand the full picture of the problem and see our position a bit extreme. Staying true to what we are, were and always will be is our key to success, what was proven in century past. Maybe our ranks would not be as massive, but each person in our ranks will be a comrade, who will not just say "i believe in our cause", but who will say "i will fight for our cause!"
Our life is a struggle, full of competition, rivalry, alongside with partnership and unity, which unite us and make us stronger to overcome obstacles and difficulties that we come across. Fighting and not falling down before difficulties makes a human, who live, rather than a homo sapiens that merely exists in this world and adjusts him self to the circumstances in which he lives for simple materialistic benefits such as food, a comfortable couch and a flat screen tv to lead a misserable life style.
What makes those so-called comrades different from those ordinary citizens who don't care about anything- Nothing. It's absolutely the same...
It is also important to remind that ways of acting are so broad- from sticking a sticker on a lamp-post to leading a creating a business lobby. Every real comrade knows that and does as much as he can for the cause and the movement, rather than just goes a couple of times a year to a demonstration or march, drinking beer on gigs and then acting silly and complaining to his mates in the pub and on the Internet about how everything is bad and how worse and worse the things are getting. Always the blame is on somebody, when it is actually to be on those, who does not do anything to change or improve- like a bad farmer who does not fertilize his land or does not do the filed work on time and blames the weather or even the state for a bad harvest.
What is the point of calling ourselves a movement if we stand before the same circumstances for already several years wiyhout moving a step forward, but sometimes even make a step back. Remember- we are the traditional movement- the movement of those who act, rather than a movement of those who talk and if a person thinks he is a part of this movement he might be very upset to find out that he is not, because those who fight and work- know that they are the movement!
