Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. [...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
Ben, naturalmente le plebe non vole le bello. Proque alicun povre rustico a un ferma volerea riscar su vita per un bello quando le melior que ille pote ganiar es retornar in un pecia? Naturalmente, le plebe non vole le bello; ni in Russia ni in Anglaterra ni in America, ni vermente in Germania. Illo es comprendite. Ma post toto, il es le leaders del pais qui determina le politica, e il es semper un cosa facile de traher le plebe al decision, an il es un democratia an un dictatura fascista an un parlamento an un dictatura communista. [...] Con un voce o sin un voce, le plebe semper pote esser ducte al voler del leaders. Illo es facile. Tote lo que tu debe facer es asserer que illos son attaccate, e denunciar le pacifistas a causa de manco de patriotismo e le exponer del pais a periculo. Il functiona mesmo in qualcunque pais.Tatoeba-2020.08 Tatoeba-2020.08
