We Want Ourselves a Country
“Vi vil oss et land” (lit. ‘We want ourselves a country’) is a famous nationalist slogan from Norway, derived from a poem by Per Sivle. In this poster we find illustrated an allegory for nationhood: people of shared heritage gather to form a common entity rooted in the soil, ready to defend the essence of their collective identity, as represented by the flags in the center. We see the status of the nation being elevated above the individual, signifying the primacy of the state, and the willingness of each to sacrifice their individuality for the greater good of the country.
The flags featured are of (from right to left) the Hirden (Norway’s fascist paramilitary and issuing body of this poster), Norway and the Nasjonal Samling.
