主题：【原创】旁观英国　之　通往地狱的路是好心铺成的 -- 风雨声

What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

　　乔治·华盛顿

　　Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. "Patriotism" is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by "patriotism" I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare -- never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

　　Erich Fromm

　　民族主义是我们的乱伦模式，是我们的偶像崇拜，是我们的疯狂。“爱国主义”是它的迷信崇拜。不必说，我所谓的 “爱国主义”态度将自己的国家置于人道之上，置于正义与真理的原则之上；不是对某人自己国家的利益的热爱，这种热爱既关注国家的精神财富也关注它的物质财富——从不以强力欺凌别国。仅仅爱一个个体而排斥对他人的爱就不是爱，不把爱某人的国家作为对人道主义的热爱的组成部分就不是爱，而是偶像崇拜。
