We must not forget to be national! Let our regimes be fascists and dictators and oppress the nation. Let the government and the parties use our national case to enrich themselves and their power. This should not affect the nationality of the national feeling of defending our nation.

Oh, how the world doth turn in ways most curious and beguiling! A nation, a people bound by the ties of blood and soil, of history and tradition, must never forget the essence of their national identity. For to be national is to be true to oneself, to one's ancestors, and to one's land. But let us not be deceived by the siren song of power and wealth, for to be national is not to oppress and lord over others in the name of some false ideology. No, let our regimes be just and equitable, let them be guided by wisdom and compassion, not by tyranny and fear. Let the government and the parties serve the people, not themselves, let them use our national case to uplift and empower, not to enrich and enslave. For the true measure of a nation lies not in its wealth or its power, but in its ability to nurture and protect the national feeling, that deep and abiding love for one's homeland that transcends all petty divisions and selfish interests. So let us remember, in the midst of our trials and tribulations, that to be national is to be human, to be noble, to be free.
