My country is the international working class

im only asking a question. you got it all wrong if u dont think communists loved their countries sometimes
I think that was his opinion of his country
Hate to be that person but no, this is not correct. Long live to the heroes of the Soviet Union who gave their lives defending their homeland from fascism, long live the Cuban doctors who study all their lives to treat their compatriots.
You could say the Red Army GOATs didn't die to protect the country, but their nation. The land, though important, is but irrelevant compared to the people.
Its the people. That's what everything is about. That's what everything has always been about.
I like to think every communist is motivated not by loyalty to the state (even if its the state of the workers), but to the workers themselves. The state is just a passing thing. A tiny blip in the history of humanity

I have no love for the nationalistic bourgeoisie project that I happened to be born into.

Treason is the most based crime
I HATE my country and actively root for its obliteration. I'm an

Is your country loyal to you?
Countries are just arbitrary borders drawn in blood. At the end of the day, we're all just people living on the same planet.
You know, I keep looking for the line between Canada and the US and I just can't find it! You'd think it would be easier to see, beginning to think it's just made up.
My ancestors used to reside on that border, location depending on the time of year because that’s how they lived back then. Then the Europeans came and drew their line and my ancestors said “fuck it” and smuggled shit across said border because we had family on both sides.
I would love to see my country become socialist, but for it to become so it must cease to be the country it is. It is vile, nationalistic, terroristic. So ultimately I am not loyal to it, but loyal to a future that may yet come to pass.
The only two things I'm "loyal" to are the roughly 12 kilometer radius immediately surrounding my house, and the world in general. That is all: nothing more, nothing less. I only really care about the arbitrary lines on a world map that determine which holidays I get off work, to the extent that I'm circumstantially forced to by the practical needs of political organization in the face of millennia-old historical forces way beyond my control.
I am appreciative of the ecology that surrounds me. I care about the working class people that live around me (and across the planet). The governmental structures do not exist for my benefit in most situations. I care about the local services that maintain the day to day existence of my city/county, but at the state/nation level there is little reason for me to consider loyalty. The power structures at these higher tiers are so removed from me, they are much like the executives and board members of so many wealthy and influential corporations. These superstructures serve the interests of capital in direct opposition to my interests in almost every situation.
How can I be loyal to a concept that literally arbitrarly divides the working class?
I think I’m too autistic to understand the concept of a country and I can’t be loyal to something I don’t understand

If there is a future United Council Republics of Turtle Island (or Federated Communes of Turtle Island), I'm loyal to that.
I am an inhabitant of the planet Earth, my loyalty is to the living things which inhabit it and the continued restoration of its ecosystems
Countries come and go, but even if humanity goes extinct, the Earth will endure
Maybe the cephalopods will have a better go at things
My country is the largest perpetrator of human suffering in living memory so, no
I am loyal to my country and I have pure love for my compatriots. My country is a landless, unnamed nation within the so-called "United States" that will not be free until Amerikkka is destroyed.
Nice try FBI. I mean, uhh, I'm 100% loyal to my nation and to our benevolent overlord the United States, without whom we would be uhh, in trouble somehow, yeah, thankful for all the protecting us by selling us such wonderful submarines.
In a post modern sense, I dont think Ive ever visited the country I live in.
Never felt any emotional attachment to the country I was born in.
It always felt really weird to “be a national”. Like for it to matter at all.
You don’t control where you’re born. I always felt it made more sense to create an attachment to things you develop a taste for.
And it felt like mass scale Stockholm syndrome for people to be so in love with the place they were born in.
This made me violently reject my native country when I went through an angry teenager phase. Now I appreciate it. But just like I appreciate any other country or thing.
i mean i kinda love czechia but its more of in a sense that its post communist and theres small vestiges of that. it also helps that i can either or that with the usa
To a country? No. I have a deep and abiding loyalty to Turtle Island and its inhabitants
I would betray my country without hesitation, for free, I will be gloating about it
Why would I be loyal to something that has no loyalty to me?
I am loyal to those who chose to do good and help those around them.
