"We look at our country that we love, for the sake of which we have fought and worked and where we want to give and give, with the victory of democracy and socialism, happiness, prosperity and progress, security, independence, freedom and peace " Very often the enemy of workers attempting to challenge the patriotism of Communists and Socialists calling their internationalism and presenting it as an expression of cosmopolitanism, of indifference and contempt for their country . Also this and 'slander. Communism has nothing in common with cosmopolitanism. Fighting under the banner of solidarity 'international workers, the Communists of every country in their capacity as' vanguard of the working masses, are firmly on the national soil. Communism does not oppose, but grants and combines patriotism and proletarian internationalism since 'the one and the other based on respect for human rights, freedom of the' independence of individual nations. E '
ridiculous to think that the working class can come off, split the nation. The modern working class and 'the backbone of the nations, not only for her number, but for its economic and political function. The future of the nation rests primarily on the shoulders of the working classes. The Communists, who are the party the working class, thus can not detach themselves from their nation if they do not want trocar their vital roots. Cosmopolitanism and 'an ideology totally alien to the working class. And it 'instead of the ideology characteristic of men of the International Bank, international trusts and cartels, the big stock market speculators and manufacturers of weapons. They are the patriots of their portfolio. They not only sell, but we gladly sell to the highest bidder among the foreign imperialists. (Palmiro Togliatti) - patriotism of Communists [Renaissance 1945]
