    I think patriotism in 3rd world communist parties is good and needed to some extent.

    Agree with you in context of first world tho

      You’re correct, what matters is what the patriotism serves, national liberation or continuation of imperialism. If your state is imperialist, you should stand against your state. If your state is imperialized, patriotism services national liberation.

        Side note, but my favorite part of this text is when he’d talks about literally jumping up and down with excitement when reading Lenin, and reciting it out loud to no one:

        Though sitting alone in my room, I shouted out aloud as if addressing large crowds: “Dear martyrs compatriots! This is what we need, this is the path to our liberation!”
