Patriotism, Old And New
By S. Macaulay.

When the war was at it's height acts were
committed in the name of patriotism which in
ordinary times would have been severity punished
by the very persons who condoned them during
the crisis. 1t is on record for instance, that girls
who submitted themselves to soldiers were not to
be looked upon as having transgressed any law,
either moral or otherwise. They were considered
classes also developed. From the taking of cap
it may be noted that this is an instance of how
moral claws" change to suit the needs Of the rul-
ing class.
Patriotism in early days, meant loyalty to the
tribe. The derivation of the word itself is sign
ificant; "pater', Latin word meaning father
is the root The chieftainship of tribe was often
vested in one family, and the head or father Of
that family was looked upon as the father Of the
tribe At this early stage of social development,
the property of the tribe was held in common; it
consisted mainly of cattle, which were often used
as means of exchange. Instances of the exchange
of cattle for other commodities are common in an
cient history. The point to be observed, however,
is that the property was communal, that each
member of the tribe had personal interest in
defending it against the attacks of enemies Not
only was this so, but it was considered the duty
of members of the tribe to so defend it.
Here again may be noticed the economic foun-
dation of morality. That which was an obliga-
tion to the tribe was fright, the tribe had a
right to the fulfiment of that obligation; what
was good for the tribe was right what was bad
for it was wrong We see, therefore, that in those
early times, patriotism and morality were practc-
ally synonymous terms.
AS society developed its subdivision into
classes also developed. From the taking of cap,
tves in was, arose the putting of these captves to
compulsory labor for the victors, the demarkation
of the social relations between the members OF
the victorious tribe and the vanqushed prisoners
These prisoners or slaves were seldom ad
mitted to membership in the tribe, and the class
line, having been drawn, has remained
1t is not to be wondered at that, in the minds

of the slaves, the idea should arise that, not hav-
ing any "rights" in the community, they should
demand rights History is full Of instances OF these
demands. And the true history of the human race
is the record of the struggles of the slave class to
secure rights.
The old communal spirit is still strong in man.
Its animal origin is to be noticed in focks of birds,
of sheep in herds of cattle, schools of fish, ETC. But
it has been prostituted it has been diverted from
it's original simple purity.
The place of the old tribal leader has been
taken by the ruling class of modern society, for,
no matter what the form of government monarch
ical or republican, the ostensble head of it is sup
ported by the real rulers, the bourgeoisie.
1t has been the task of the master class to
keep alive the idea of patriotism or loyalty to the
tribe but having imposed themselves between the
slaves and the ruler, any support given the ruler
must support them. All modern wars have been
fought for the aggrandsement of the bourgeoisie,
but the workers, the slave class Of DID, have to
suffer.
There can be no doubt that the modern form
of patriotism is dying. 1t can be included in the
casualty list of the still unfinished world war, But
in it's place is arising new patriotism = CLASS
PATRIOTISM. 1t is not new patriotism to the
masters; they have been patriotic to their class
in the past. But it is new to the workers; 1t has
been forced upon them The utter failure of the
ruling class to efficiently manage the affairs of
society-he whe runs may read-has demonstrate
ed the necessity of their removal from the mana
cement, and its assumption by the workers = the
only useful class.
And let us not delude ourselves. 1t is not to be
expected that after centuries Of power the master
class is going to step grace fully down and out

The regimental mascot was a goat,

This regiment fought on Bunker
Hill, and at that time it had a goat
for a mascot, and that goat had sill

then the regiment has had a descen-

surprise to the West to read that the
President signed the measure before

open the way for great development
