Leo Tolstoy. Christianity and patriotism (№ 394676)

Terrible to say, but there was not such total violence of some people over others, which was not made in the name of patriotism. In the name of patriotism the Russians fought with the French, the French with the Russians, and in the name of patriotism is now preparing the Russian with the French to fight against the Germans and in the name of patriotism is now ready the Germans to fight on two fronts. But not only wars - in the name of patriotism the Russians stifled the poles and the Germans, the Slavs; in the name of patriotism Communards killed of Versailles Versailles and the Communards.
