Yes, Socialists should defend their country in great historical crises.

Incendiary capitalism is carrying its out evil works more dangerously than ever, and is doing so in the increasingly dangerous neighborhood of the powder kegs that are the great European military powers.

Like a cyclone, imperialism spins across the globe; militarism crushes peoples and sucks their blood like a vampire.

The basic law of capitalism is you or I, not both you and I

Workers, comrades, and you, women of the people, let not this festival of May, the second during the war, pass without protest against the Imperialist Slaughter.

To the socialist no nation is free whose national existence is based upon the enslavement of another people, for to him colonial peoples, too, are peoples, and, as such, parts of the national state.
