It's more than that. If something has a beginning, then you can deduce there's a before. If there's a before this means that things can change.
The party is trying to erase its beginning to make itself appear eternal, as the only ways things could ever be. It wasn't deliberately vague to let people imagine. It's part of the political agenda of the party to rewrite human nature to ensure it can't be removed.
