BECOME INTERNATIONALIST OR DIE!!!

Question: To what extent should we promote internationalism?

This is rather a difficult question to answer, and it may be easier to answer with what a country should not do to promote internationalism. I do not think that a country should force internationalism upon any other country, and especially not by means of violence.  Even the more peaceful missionary style of promoting something seems contrary to the goals of internationalism. Both methods stem from and lead to the belief that one country is better than another for whatever reason. This, of course, leads to ask exactly how a country ought to promote internationalism.

I think that countries ought to promote internationalism by example. That is, they ought to aid other countries when those other countries ask for aid. That serves beyond aid and encourages other countries to act similarly. This does not give the impression that one country believes that they are better than another.
