"A pacifist will often - at least nowadays - be an internationalist and vice versa. But history shows us that a pacifist need not think internationally"

About this Quote

This quote by Christian Lous Lange recommends that pacifism and internationalism are frequently linked, however not always so. In contemporary times, pacifists are frequently internationalists, and vice versa. This means that they both supporter for peace and cooperation in between countries, and for the resolution of conflicts without violence. However, this does not have to hold true. History has revealed us that pacifists can still think and act locally, without necessarily thinking about the international implications of their actions. This recommends that pacifism and internationalism are not necessarily connected, and that one can be a pacifist without necessarily being an internationalist.
