PATRIOTISM ASSUMES THAT YOU ARE RIGHT & THEREFORE YOU MUST KILL YOUR
OPPONENT WHO MUST BE WRONG
"Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one
surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on
some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more
intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is,
therefore, the duty of everyone living on
that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his
superiority upon all the others. The inhabitants of the other spots reason in
like manner, of
course..." wrote Emma Goldman.
