Fascism is the seizure of territories.
Nazism is the filtering of one’s own.
Nationalism is the honoring of heroes,
Patriotism is love’s idea.

They come to love in different ways,
Sitting on the veranda or in a tank:
In a state of tender bliss
Or hating everyone and themselves.

A patriot has fallen in love with the motherland,
A nationalist — with his people.
A Nazi rids the country of foreigners.
Fascism is the lawlessness of scum.
