Learning Activity

Imaginary Interview

Direction: Further research/read on Giuseppe Mazzini, Woodrow Wilson, Karl Marx, or Vladimir Lenin.
Conduct an imaginary interview with one of them. In this interview, have your selected figure answer the
following questions:

1. What do you think of nationalism?

ANSWER: Nationalism holds that every country ought to oversee itself, free from outside obstruction
(self-assurance), that a country is a characteristic and ideal reason for a commonwealth and that the
country is the solitary legitimate wellspring of political influence (mainstream power).
2. What is necessary for the development of an international order?
ANSWER: If you look at the world’s long history up to the present, you will know that there will
never be an international order. There will always be an attempt to achieve it, but sadly it is
always through force by way of financial imperialism, sanctions, monopolies, and wars. No one
among the most powerful nations will ever choose to truly respect another country’s sovereignty,
especially the small ones. Under this situation, many nations just follow the hegemon’s lead to
 avoid being sanctioned. But there will always be a few countries that are smart and brave enough
to resist being a lapdog for these dominating nations who by all accounts, act like a gang.  
So, what is necessary for the development of an international order is respect between nations,
which is nice to hear but is really unachievable.

3. What do you think of the League of Nations?

ANSWER: The League of Nations was an international organization founded after the Paris Peace
Conference, 1919. The League's goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective
security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy and improving global
welfare.

4. What is the Role of revolution in internationalization?

ANSWER: Internationalism is an important component of socialist political theory, based on the
principle that working-class people of all countries must unite across national boundaries and actively
oppose nationalism and war in order to overthrow capitalism (see entry on proletarian
internationalism).
