Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Do I as a Marxist hate my country? No. I hate the abuse and destruction of my country and class by the bourgeoisie. As Marxists we are *Internationalists* , Rather than shallow patriotism, we are Matriots -- loyal to the planet and biosphere of which we are a part and loyal to our working class. It's one of the reasons we should celebrate Interdependence Day on July 5th. This reminds me of an article I wrote ( https://almarkowitz.blogspot.com/2017/06/a-declaration-of-interdependence.html ) for a local culture mag where I had a monthly column for a few years prior to the pandemic -- and may continue at some point.
