"Our fate is common. It is the "nationalism of life". The only legitimate one. There is a profound "sympathy" between us, in the sense that "together" we "suffer" the same events. And all together, held in an ideal embrace, we march united towards death. Leave us alone, "let us lose ourselves" they say in Rome. Don't look at us. We have finally found our religion. Our most "legitimate" religion. We have finally found the rightest and most justified reason to gather together and stay united. We have finally discovered a "serious" reason for collective living. A feeling similar to ours united the first Christians in the unanimous expectation, in the "common" expectation of the kingdom of God. From this "consensus" the most natural and therefore truest and profound communism is born. Together we will face... What?... When there are many of us, it doesn't matter what we face, what awaits us. It will be, brothers, what will be. En avant, route! (From canteen to canteen)"
