There are a few people I've heard speak at meetings that way, but the rest of us are always WTF are you serious?
I like calling people "comrades" because I think that's funnier.
You're right about idealism, by the way. That's why I love that Muriel Spark has Jean Brodie cite the bible--"Where there is no vision, the people perish"--in a novel designed to show us that where there is vision, the people perish too. From Pol Pot to Jim Jones, vision too has been a killer.
