Patriotism
"Patriotism in its simplest, clearest and most indubitable signification is nothing else but a means of obtaining for the rulers their ambitions and covetous desires, and for the ruled the abdication of human dignity, reason, conscience, and a slavish enthralment to those in power."
Leo Tolstoi - Demanding the Impossible: a History of Anarchism by Peter Marshall (fontana press 1992) p374
