- Incorporation of a section of the nation which has become a class, as part of the national whole, or simply of the State, is to be effected not by debasing the higher classes but by raising the lower ones. But the class entrusted with this process can never be the higher one, but the one which is fighting for the rights of equality. The bourgeoisie of to-day was not incor¬ porated in the State by any help from the nobility, but by its own activity and under its own leadership.
The most serious obstacle in the way of approach¬ ing the worker of to-day is not his jealousy of his interests as a class, but the attitude of his international leaders, which is hostile to the nation and the Fatherland. Those same Trades Unions, if led in a fanati¬ cally national spirit with regard to politics and nation¬ ality, would convert millions of workers into very valu¬ able members of the nation, and this would be entirely unconnected with any struggles occurring here and there in the domain of pure economics.
