Smart and decent citizens of the World ! It 's time to unite against the abomination of servility and ruling imbecility ! Long live the Muses of Sanity and Human Dignity, may the Darkness of Ignorance and Adulation, the Plague of World Wars be hidden!
It is worth thinking hard for many of us over the words of the Great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy: "Patriotism ... is a rude feeling because it is peculiar only to people standing at the lowest level of morality, expecting from other peoples the very violence that they themselves are ready to inflict on them; a harmful feeling because it violates beneficial and joyful peaceful relations with other peoples and, most importantly, produces that organization of governments under which the government can and always gets the worst; a shameful feeling because it turns a person not only into a slave, but into a fighting cock, bull, gladiator, who ruins his strength and life for purposes not his own, but his own governments".© Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy. Patriotism and Government (1900).
And the conclusion from these arguments is, perhaps, unambiguous. Russian Russian nationalism, professed by a citizen of any country, can combine Love for his Homeland and "beneficial and joyful relations with other peoples," which, in fact, is what the Great Thinker and Writer of the Russian Land, a classic of Russian and world literature, speaks about.
Internationalism is the complete antipode of its opposite - "nationalism", to which, according to Leo Tolstoy, it pushes, "the organization of governments under which the government can and always gets the worst (of the applicants)." From which follows everything else he said about the worst manifestations of so-called "patriotism", or rather, nationalism.
Therefore, Internationalism should replace the so-called national patriotism, which everyone understands in their own way and taste! And under which, sometimes, everyday intolerance towards people of another nationality is hidden, or even Nazism - professing criminal, in essence, hatred of other peoples! Love your Homeland and respect and appreciate other Nations, each of which is good and worthy of respect in its own way, and useful for All Mankind! Then there will be no Nazism, holocausts and world wars on Planet Earth!
For ALL PEOPLES are a SINGLE HUMAN RACE, which survives and develops due to the uniqueness and uniqueness of different peoples and nations inhabiting the Planet Earth, which complement and improve each other! If we recall, for example, the poetic genius of A.S. Pushkin, whom both in Russia and Africa consider their great poet. It's time for EVERYONE living on Planet Earth to understand this!
It was in prehistoric times that wild tribes fought with each other "for a piece of bread" and survival! But, thank God, they passed! Although in modern people there are "psychological atavisms" and remnants of "those wild times, which, however, still make themselves felt in the form of destruction by modern people of each other!
In the modern Era , ONLY THE UNITY OF ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD CAN SAVE HUMANITY FROM AN IMMINENT CATASTROPHE ! Modern Humanity has come to the edge of its so-called "civilizational development", from which it can suddenly fall into the "Abyss of Nothingness", dying in a Thermonuclear Hell!
If It does not listen to the most urgent Call of the Ninth Symphony of the Greatest Composer of All Time, Ludwig Van Beethoven: "Embrace, millions! Merge in joy alone!". To the words "Ode to Joy" by the Great German poet Friedrich Schiller! /// A Reasonable Earthling, A Friend of Reasonable and Worthy Citizens of Russia and the Whole World.
