Patriotism and Socialism
نویسنده
چکیده
There is to be a parade and mass meeting of the Socialist Labor Party tonight. The leaders are opposed to the expression of pro-Spanish sentiments, and say so. But here a difficulty comes in. Socialists are opposed to the theory of nationality and national sentiment. They do not believe that you should fight for your country, because the nation is not a unit recognized by them. A Socialist of this city feels that a Socialist of Madrid is his comrade. On the other hand, an individualist of New York is not his comrade. For patriotism is substituted allegiance to the international idea; for ties of country are substituted those of the idea of the brotherhood of man, and the red flag is substituted for the Stars and Stripes. It can be seen very readily that the real Socialist can only make a pretense of being patriotic. He cannot be a patriot without ceasing to be a Socialist. New York Sun, April 30, 1898
