| Is freedom worth dying for? History tells us that man has been violent even before the dawn of civilization. One sees that wars have been waged by nations against nations, tribes against tribes, and brothers against brothers. Mankind's history is not a good image of man's humanity but rather a degrading portrait of man's animosity, if not man's animalism. However, digging deeper and not merely reading history while questioning man's motive in engaging in these wars would give one the idea that these wars were not only fought for the benefit of the emperors, kings, nobles, capitalists, and bourgeois. Most of these wars which, though undoubtedly paint a shameful image of mankind, have been lost and won by proletariats are for independence and freedom. |
