| | V.Koutalis: Balkan internationalism |
 | | It is also true, however, that the emergence of rationalism, as a prominent philosophical orientation, the recourse to the common ability for reasonable cogitation and the invocation of the conscious collective will of civil society, could not but foster the belief that the struggle against absolutism and tyranny bore a definite universalistic undertone[i]. |
 | | Internationalism was the awareness, enunciated in political terms, from the exploited and oppressed part of European societies of the fact that freedom and happiness were not to be obtained inside the borders of a nation-state, neither under the auspices of the compatriot capitalists or landowners. |
 | | The history of Balkan internationalism seems to be interrupted at the ends of the decade of 1920, when the Parties of Communist International, the one after the other, adopted the program of “socialism in one country”, and, as a result, pulled out of the way the perspective of an internationalist solution for actual political problems. |
