Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Patriotism and Empire And so the process goes on apace, unless checked by saner and more righteous counsels, until the empire falls prostrate by the weight, not so much of external antagonisms, as of an internal decay which has wasted the opportunities and fruits of industrial activity. Patriot ism becomes more and more the exclusive watchword of a growing military caste, and the civilian population has hurled at it many reproaches if it objects to being too much, or wholly confined to looking after the commissariat and the baggage train.

Download or read book Patriotism Democracy Or Empire written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patriotism, Democracy or Empire?: A Satire Could a patriot of the Revolution stand on the step of time marked A. D., 1787, and look down the vista of a hundred and thirteen years, he would be lost in wonder at the advance of his country in material improvement, and in despair at its political and moral decline. We - the present generation - do not realize the extent of either. The nurse that watches day by day the subject of a slowly wasting malady can not see so well the effect of the disease as the friend who returns after a prolonged absence. When Swartwout embezzled a few thousand dollars of public funds, sixty years ago. the conscience of the republic was shocked and his venal sin fell heavily on his political party. Now, the theft of millions of dollars is regarded as so venial that a law cannot be passed by Congress to aid in bringing the criminals to trial. So potent is money - so great the influence of men who are wealthy - that politicians in high places flocked to Washington and lobbied to defeat the Bill intended to remove legal technicalities found by a federal judge against the bringing of those men to justice. The Senator who smothered the Bill in the House, and who is the uncrowned ruler of the State of New York, has gained political power by that nefarious deed. Because Mr. Clay was suspected of a trade relating to an office, he was defeated for the presidency by the aroused virtue of the republic. Now, Marc Hanna can go openly in the market and levy a fund of millions to buy the presidency, and it overcomes us with no special wonder. Forty years ago, the fall through lechery of Bishop Ouder-donk horrified laymen as well as clergy. Now, such a lapse is the subject of ribald jest, for a day and is then forgotten. Fifty years ago, every American was justly proud of his nationality. "I am a Roman citizen" was never uttered with a loftier crest than was, "I am an American." Now, What a change! Within thirty years there has grown up a class - not numerous, but strong through the power of wealth, that long for a king. They swarm to Europe. They there form colonies. They court the nobility, and the women throw themselves in the path of that herd of drones to be picked up nominally as wives, but in reality as the despised annex to wealth. The rabies called Anglomania is spreading rapidly among the rich. They lean to empire. They desire a vast standing army to that end. So virulent is this rabies, the minds of some have become so far diseased that they call themselves "Royal Dames," and seek purification of their plebeian blood by Faith cure - by belief that it contains the weak, but healing dilution of a drop of royalty.

Download or read book Patriotism Classic Reprint written by Percy Dearmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-04 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patriotism We will not try to explain why men are patriotic. Perhaps we needed the infernal crimes and horrors of Armageddon to remind us that they are, and that neither dynasts nor diplomats, neither the theories of Utopian materialism nor the sweet appeal of pure reason, can make them otherwise. The war does at least prove to us that the greatest things are not intellectual, that men are moved by other forces more spiritual, more noble, and more true. The whole world shouts it half the world is at war to proclaim it; and it may be that already a million men have died to prove the reality of an abstraction Civilization has not pushed out of it, as from some outworn barbarism, but it has grown with civilization. The national principle, indeed, was not established in Europe until the nineteenth century. We may be annoyed by the things that Hackel has said about England, but at least he has proved that he is not a rationalist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of English Patriotism, Vol. 2 of 2 Voltaire's point of view is plainly, that it is unreason able to be a patriot, unless you get some equivalent advantage out of your country. One has a country under a good king. But not under a bad one.' At the same time, he hesitates between the patriotic and the cosmopolitan points of view. It is a pity that to be a good patriot one must be the enemy of other men. He ends up with the following strange compromise: He. Who wants his country to be neither greater, nor smaller, nor richer, nor poorer, would be the citizen of the universe.
