Trostsky thought this too. For Lenin Russia was a bitter country where he had seen he brother executed. He was no Russian nationalist.

    This statement just means "All men are created equal" Nationalism and Religion are the tools of Capitalists who could care less for either concept. Pride in race, religion, gender, and nation is for the simple minded.

    These quotes are worthless, because they have no source citations. Such a citation might resemble the following: "V.I. Lenin, Collected Works, Progress Publishing House; Moscow, 1958; Vol. 23, p. 15." The Soviet Government published many editions of Lenin's Collected works, in a wide range of languages. Any one of those editions can be cited as a source. Such a publication proves - for most - that Lenin uttered the words in question. If You can find contemporary newspaper articles, that reprinted the full text of a speech - in which Lenin expressed a view that You quote - that newspaper should be cited as, e.g., Pravda, 23 March 1918, p. 6. These source citations proves the words in question actually were spoken. Until you have - and affix beneath each quotation - one or more source citations, remove these quotations.

    Jay, it took me about 3 minutes to find a source:
    I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
    Statement after the October Revolution of 1917, as quoted in "Communists: The Battle over the Tomb" in TIME (24 April 1964)

    Not quite sure how to rate this. One man's opinion about his nation is not necessarily a corollary to his religion. As there are many affiliate associations / denominations in any major religion, so it is in socialism. Depending on any given of socialism's many denominations (communism, fascism, progressivism, wokeism, etc.), the missionary efforts are also varied (violence, scholastically, government intervention, etc.).

    It is a profound concern of the civilized gentleman the actions and activities of America, Russia or any nation state.  The civilized human individual is trying to unite the world for the purpose of a one world governing organization to best serve the needs of each and every individual on the planet. Putting all the present nation states in the position for acceptance of the advanced position is the challenge the civilized individual accepts.

    It is not the civilized gentleman / human individual but rather, the tyrannical malefactor(s) that is/are trying to unite the world for the purpose of a one world governing organization. History has proven over, and over and over again, the smallest / most immediate body politic best serves the needs of each and every individual on the planet

    Mike, Norwalk, as I have asserted before, the growing process of life maintains that the logical conclusion of the nation state designation leads to all inclusive world international organization, a one world government, a one world nation.

    Mike, Norwalk, you have to acknowledge that the nation state grew out of loosely organized territories, city states, or what have you, and so the developmental maturing process is going to logically conclude a one world nation state. Surely you can't reject inevitable growth.

    Sillik, your incoherent word salad's circular logic is meaningless unless considered during a psychedelic trip in a mental ward. The vast majority of your assertions grow from a state of ex nihilo, circling around through fruition to a state of ut nihilo (from nothing to nothing). History, nature's law and reality have proven your assertions WRONG over, and over, and over again.
     -- Mike, Norwalk

    Sillik, I do NOT have to acknowledge while, I do absolutely REJECT, that the nation state grew out of loosely organized anything. By way of example, within the States united; small gatherings of individuals were first organized by solitary persons supporting individual rights, liberty, commerce, justice and a sense of security. The closer the association of individuals were to nature's law, the more profitable, in all ventures, did individuals excel. In expansion, it was found that a few elements of base rights and liberty could be met more efficiently if "Rules of Order" (not law) were harmonized (weights and measures, rules of travel, commercial regularities, the common law usage and administration, etc.) This expansion demonstrated that the "County" was the largest form of organization that was expedient to administer "law" and "order". To this day, the County Sheriff is the highest ranking executive (in today's occupying statist theocracy's totalitarian nomenclature — highest ranking law enforcement). There were a few issues that could be executed more efficiently so the inorganic phantasm “State” was created. Such body politic found a few elements of operation that were best handled typically, through those same States united. With each expansion of the body politic, it was found (and proved) that the larger the body politic, - the less tasks given, were check, against tyranny, despotism and enslavement. That concept was so well understood that the U.S. Constitution didn’t limit what the federal government could do, it gave but a few things that it could do. Sillik, your “developmental maturing” is but a deceptive lie (opposite of individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty, nature’s law justice, happiness, prosperity and the very nature of the noble being - man. A “one world nation state” is the inevitable death of our specie

    Mike, Norwalk, you never have much of point in you discourse. You are would described, very common conventional condition, as being socially and psychologically lobotomized, that's the bad news, but the good news is it not irreversible. Becoming a socially mindful person would reverse the situation unlike the misguided physical procedure you want to perform on others of a qualified opinion such as myself. Mental health is unfortunately a threat to the conventional arrangement. This needs to change.

    Mike, Norwalk, further your irrelevant and irresponsible manner of calling important social and community responsibilities "small talk" is the very stratosphere of irresponsibility.  I simply can't find anyone in the world community with the slightest shread of responsible mature adult behavior. I stand absolutely alone on the world stage in my desire to solve the problems the plague our species and the supporting environment.  Why, I stand simply alone with the only perceiving apparatus of a genuine adult to face our impending obstacles and I don't appreciate this position one bit. Adults want the atmosphere of adults. We need you to grow up and face reality.
