Question Everything

Nationalism is a trick used by governments to get us to put their interests ahead of our own interests, to pretend that society is one big happy country when it is actually hierarchical, divided into exploiters and exploited. It presupposes that we should all be divided into different "countries" (imaginary entities drawn on maps) and that both rich & poor in those countries have common interests against members of other countries. In reality, workers around the world have a shared common interest against businessmen in all countries. Dividing workers by nationality is just a way to divide and conquer us.
