ABSTRACT
But let us think carefully as small citizens of the world; to whom exactly does the present victory belong? Who has really surrendered? Whose is the achievement this time? And for whom do we celebrate? If we ponder over these questions, then not only will our non-fighting generals’ show of strength and our shameless politicians’ grasping of credit become senseless, but also the talk of the Allied nations, that the end of the war was brought about by their military forces defeating the military force of Germany, and their mad celebrations will be entirely without significance. And not only are their celebrations and boasts meaningless, but even the fate of their political system will probably [. . .] be the same as that of German militarism, and vanish with the latter in the near future.
