The Romans already knewThat is why his empire is still valid in its ideas and rights. Its tens of millions of citizens lived in a mess of aristocrats and soldiers, but they understood that everyone, slaves, patricians and emperors were part of the whole of Rome.
That’s why Rome fell and no lasting nations were born from its remains, that’s why The West mourned the end of civilizationthis is why the twilight of its creator wept. Romeas a generating empire, it created an emblem so important, so imposing, that it was implanted beyond the borders of the Rhine, far from Caledonian borders crossing the Dacian forests.
The Roman standard, the golden eagle of the legion, broke the spell of time and proved that the barriers and obstacles that an empire must overcome are not mortal, but divine.
How an outdated social group managed to break the mold even today, more than 2200 years after the foundation on that small hill still remembers its history?
With the strength of society, trade unions, collective cohesion. It was a tool for everything Latin civilizationeven while suffering from civil wars, famines, pandemics and invasions, he stood firmly behind the eagle.
The idea of a group, a sense of association, is an integral part of any state must know how to dose its inhabitants because a lot and you get the Italy of Mussolini, the Spain of Franco, Salazar’s Portugal, Tojo and Hirohito’s Japan or Hitler’s Germanyyou create sick servants blindness dying one foot at a time arid and barren lands, applauding the total lack of common sense among the masses numbed by promises of a return to a past that never was; a lot of patriotism is Japanese planes crashing into American ships, it’s the battle for Berlin, house to house, it’s The Volkssturm refuses to surrender to the Soviets, it is the destruction of the nation, it is the inability and stupidity to manage the lives of those who do not want or cannot escape from their duty; and very little is enough to break even the greatest nations, you only need to see examples like Soviet Russia in 1989. the Modern America, Batista’s Cuba or Noriega’s Panamawhich, although some will deny the lack of struggle due to economic weakness or an imbalance of forces, failed and lacked the participation of the people in the defense of the homeland that they considered their own.
Because the nation was mired in the poverty of the patriotic spirit, the nation was left at the mercy of its kidnappers and conquerors, state the Cuban army is numb, fleeing from the revolutionaries Sierra Maestra, are battle dignities throwing guns at the first blast Made in America
patriotism it is not a sword used to slaughter dissidents or a medal to hang on his lapel to prove to be a greater patriot than the country itself. Patriotism is not a ghost either of the past is reflected in what could be the future a State.
Patriotism, but not that nationalismthat is the love of the place, that is the most deeply see sovereignty, wealth and progress in every centimeter within limitations and boundaries. Patriotism is the rope that holds society together, it is not a flag or an anthem; it is not an oath or a promise, the homeland, for those who do not understand it yet, is the certainty of the brotherhood of the children of one nation, it is firm and indomitable firmness in the face of foreign interestsis a constant concern for the betterment of all who make up the country.
