Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who
despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives,
tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel!
Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use
cannon
you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to fodder
these unnatural men: machine men with machine (n.): carne
de cañón
minds and machine hearts! You are not machines!
You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love
of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only
the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke, it is written: “The
Kingdom of God is within man.” Not one man
nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You,
the people have the power, the power to create
machines, the power to create happiness! You, the
people, have the power to make this life free and
beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that
power, let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world:
a decent world that will give men a chance to work,
that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to
power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise.
They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the
people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let
us fight to free the world, to do away with national
barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and
intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason,
a world where science and progress will lead
to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! In the name of
democracy, let us all unite!
