The reason (I have sometimes fancied) is that the Proletarian is class-conscious, not because he is a Proletarian of All Lands, but because he is a Proletarian with no lands.

The poor people in Montenegro have lands--not landlords.

They have roots; for the peasant is the root of the priest, the poet, and the warrior.

And _this_, and not a mere recrimination about acts of violence, is the ground of the age-long Balkan bitterness against the Turkish conqueror.

Montenegrins are patriotic for Montenegro; but Turks are not patriotic for Turkey.
They never heard of it, in fact.
