What Nationalism, Fascism, Isolationism and Protectionism Can Lead to Again

“I know, the old demons are reemerging, ready to finish off their work of chaos of 2 worlds wars and death. New ideologies of fascism and nationalism manipulate religions, push a contagious false prophecy and propaganda to the desperate, the gullible, the greeds Sometimes, history threatens to retake its tragic course and threaten our heritage of peace that we believed we had definitively settled with our generations and we thought had died, but now they are back, history will repeat itself for those who do not remember history as a lesson that has long been forgotten and those who lived it are now dead and cannot tell.

For two world wars, Europe almost committed suicide. Humanity had sunk into a hideous idea of national tribalism of merciless battles, in a hell that engulfed all fighters, whichever side they were on, whatever nationality they had.

“These wars, with its senseless bloodshed, showed where nationalistic foolish pride, dangerous overconfidence, arrogance, these militaries could lead. It made clear what disastrous consequences a lack of compromise in politics and diplomacy can have.”

The World Wars showed us what kind of ruin isolationism can lead us into. And if seclusion wasn’t a solution 100 years ago, how could it be so today?”
