Internationalism On The Other Hand Admits That

The Territorial State Is Such An Ancient Form Of Society - Here In Europe It Dates Back Thousands Of Years - That It Is Now Protected By The Sanctity Of Age And The Glory Of Tradition. A Strong Religious Feeling Mingles With The Respect And The Devotion To The Fatherland.

Today We Stand On A Bridge Leading From The Territorial State To The World Community. Politically, We Are Still Governed By The Concept Of The Territorial State; Economically And Technically, We Live Under The Auspices Of Worldwide Communications And Worldwide Markets.

A Pacifist Will Often - At Least Nowadays - Be An Internationalist And Vice Versa. But History Shows Us That A Pacifist Need Not Think Internationally.

It Is Against This Concept Of The Sovereign State, A State Isolated By Protectionism And Militarism, That Internationalism Must Now Engage In Decisive Battle.

Hand In Hand With Nationalist Economic Isolationism, Militarism Struggles To Maintain The Sovereign State Against The Forward March Of Internationalism.
