While love for family and country may be mocked, when it comes to the stage of brutal struggle, the moment of life and death, for an individual, a strong collective and nation is the greatest reliance.
So how is such a national collective established? Is it constructed by those full of greed and pursuit of profit? No, they can only ever parasitize within a vast and stable orderly society because away from such an environment, they cannot survive.
"Ultimately, they merely steal the residual benefits of the ancestors and the favorable environment they created."
This is like borrowing money. If everyone borrows and never repays, then the concept of 'borrowing' will perish. When someone asks you for money again, it will equal theft and robbery, because no one will repay. The reason borrowing is still possible now is that ancestors established an environment of trust, and this trust is beneficial for mutual help within a community, allowing it to gradually flourish.
