Internationalism is a political principle which transcends nationalism and advocates a greater political or economic cooperation among nations and people. Typically, internationalism is seen as the antithesis of nationalism, which is the principle towards identifying with a singular country or culture. Internationalists are typically critical of nationalism, and sometimes patriotism. Internationalism is typically associated with the political left, principally that of Marxism and anarchism.

It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion, too,
