 Winds of Change.NET: Political Loyalty Is Not A Property Interest
Which is why I've suggested before that the Democrats adopt the Red Army's commissar system, so that every party member's blog postings would have to be approved by a political officer with a Makarov pistol.
Where it was political, it struck at issues that went beyond Republican concerns: the power of ultra-liberal and leftist special interest groups, high-handed unions, the outrages of Hollywood liberals, the media echo chamber, the Ward Churchills, and the corrupt Wright-Coelho party that existed only to serve its own selfish interests.
When Republicans became the majority party in 1994, it wasn’t just because we didn’t agree with the Democrats it was because we made the case to the voters that we had something better to offer.

 Professional Autonomy of the Military: in the United States and the Soviet Union
While the relationship between the commissar and the military specialist during the Civil War may have approximated the rules only rarely and most likely produced conflict, the interdependence between the political and military officer was likely to lead to a process whereby control was not the most important part of the relationship.
The commissar was to show a special vigilance toward the military specialist, as the former officers were called, but he was also charged with the reeducation of this officer and with helping him understand the historical significance of the revolution.
While the institution of the commissar role was no doubt a novel one, the importance of the military specialist was in essence a recognition of the role of the professional, as imperative to the success of the revolution.
