Comrades,
Local Party officials in California Oblast have banned all patriotic displays not directly associated with Party Chairman and President Barack Barackovich Obama to ensure that patriotism is not hijacked by racists and Imperialists. This policy is expected to be implemented in all USSA schools.
As we all know, our Socialist dream is Internationalist in nature, and so patriotism is not to be defined by national borders, but class struggle. Patriotism means identifying with the Party, who represents the workers and peasants of not only the USSA by citizenship, but all workers and peasants who reside within the borders of the USSA and outside of it.
The Socialist Democratic Party seeks progress in the USSA by leveling the playing field so that the Proletariat of all nations may enjoy an equal share of the common wealth of all humanity. Right now, the sharing of this wealth is unequally distributed, and so the Party regulates patriotism in order to reward citizens with patriotic expressions to the extent that the goals of the Party in this regard have been achieved.
Citizens, patriotism is an important and powerful benefit granted by the State. We must be cautious in how we exercise it, otherwise it can be used by reactionaries to further counter-revolutionary causes.
Patriotism is based on social and political conformity, and so we applaud Party officials in our schools who prevent non-conformist children from using a patriotic display in such a way that appears to deviate from the Party's goals.
In the California situation, we know that Hispanic students, due to institutional racism from the bourgeois kulaks that once dominated the area, are revolted by American nationalistic displays. They would rather be in Mexico or somewhere else, and so patriotic displays should accommodate their feelings and preferences, including themes like Cinco de Mayo, Pancho Villa, and tequila.
American students should not engage in divisive patriotism that would leave Hispanic students feeling left out of the great Progressive march towards Equality through Collectivism.
It is important that patriotism be regulated by authorities, so that the Party can continue to teach the workers and peasants of America how to properly feel and think about their history and their duties as Socialists. Patriotism must not be allowed to be associated with Capitalism, religion, so-called freedom, or any other reactionary themes.
Regulate Patriotism to protect minorities!
Struggle for Internationalist Socialism!
