Internationalism is a community theory of society which is founded on economic, spiritual, and biological facts. It maintains that respect for a healthy development of human society and of world civilization requires that mankind be organized internationally.  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Upon the union of the male germ cell with the female egg cell, a new cell is created which almost immediately splits into two parts. One of these grows rapidly, creating the human body of the individual with all its organs, and dies only with the individual  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Today we stand on a bridge leading from the territorial state to the world community. Politically, we are still governed by the concept of the territorial state; economically and technically, we live under the auspices of worldwide communications and worldwide markets  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The territorial state is such an ancient form of society - here in Europe it dates back thousands of years - that it is now protected by the sanctity of age and the glory of tradition. A strong religious feeling mingles with the respect and the devotion to the fatherland  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The idea of eternity lives in all of us. We thirst to live in a belief which raises our small personality to a higher coherence - a coherence which is human and yet superhuman, absolute and yet steadily growing and developing, ideal and yet real  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) For the state by its nature claims sovereignty, the right to an unlimited development of power, determined only by self-interest. It is by nature anarchistic  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Hand in hand with nationalist economic isolationism, militarism struggles to maintain the sovereign state against the forward march of internationalism  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Europe cannot survive another world war  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Earlier ages fortified themselves behind the sovereign state, behind protectionism and militarism  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The sovereign state has in our times become a lethal danger to human civilization because technical developments enable it to employ an infinite number and variety of means of destruction  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The free trade movement in the middle of the last century represents the first conscious recognition of these new circumstances and of the necessity to adapt to them  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Within each such social group, a feeling of solidarity prevails, a compelling need to work together and a joy in doing so that represent a high moral value  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) A pacifist will often - at least nowadays - be an internationalist and vice versa. But history shows us that a pacifist need not think internationally  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) No state is free from militarism, which is inherent in the very concept of the sovereign state. There are merely differences of degree in the militarism of states  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The growth of means of transport has created a world market and an opportunity for division of labor embracing all the developed and most of the undeveloped states  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The simultaneous reactions elicited all over the world by the reading of newspaper dispatches about the same events create, as it were, a common mental pulse beat for the whole of civilized mankind  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) But teleological considerations can lead no further than to a belief and a hope. They do not give certainty  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The main concept is that of an international solidarity expressed in practice through worldwide division of labor: free trade is the principal point in the program of internationalism  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Modern techniques have torn down state frontiers, both economical and intellectual. The growth of means of transport has created a world market and an opportunity for division of labor embracing all the developed and most of the undeveloped states  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) It is against this concept of the sovereign state, a state isolated by protectionism and militarism, that internationalism must now engage in decisive battle  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Internationalism on the other hand admits that spiritual achievements have their roots deep in national life; from this national consciousness art and literature derive their character and strength and on it even many of the humanistic sciences are firmly based  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Internationalism is a community theory of society which is founded on economic, spiritual, and biological facts. It maintains that respect for a healthy development of human society and of world civilization requires that mankind be organized internationally. Nationalities should form the constitutive links in a great world alliance, and must be guaranteed an independent life in the realm of the spiritual and for locally delimited tasks, while economic and political objectives must be guided internationally in a spirit of peaceful cooperation for the promotion of mankind’s common interests  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Concord, solidarity, and mutual help are the most important means of enabling animal species to survive  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Moreover, if the territorial state is to continue as the last word in the development of society, then war is inevitable  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Just as characteristic, perhaps, is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post, telegraph, telephone, and popular press  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) It is an accepted commonplace in psychology that the spiritual level of people acting as a crowd is far lower than the mean of each individual’s intelligence or morality  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) Internationalism is a social and political theory, a certain concept of how human society ought to be organized, and in particular a concept of how the nations ought to organize their mutual relations  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) History shows us that other highly developed forms of civilization have collapsed. Who knows whether the same fate does not await our own?  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes) The theoretically unrestricted right to develop power, to wage war against other states, is antisocial and is doubly dangerous, because the state as a mass entity represents a low moral and intellectual level  (Christian Lous Lange Quotes)
