The right to be wrong??

Johann Gottlieb Fichte http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Gottlieb_Fichte said that
… the relation of free beings to one another is a relation of reciprocal interaction through intelligence and freedom. One cannot recognize the other if both do not mutually recognize each other; and one cannot treat the other as a free being, if both do not mutually treat each other as free. something like or some thing close to this
But what I understand is that just as a moral disposition is the love of duty for duty's sake, so is a political disposition, by contrast, the love of oneself for one's own sake, concern for the security of one's person and property; and the state can without hesitation adopt as its fundamental law: love yourself above all else, and love your fellow citizens as quoted
What is your idea of this

A moral disposition is love of duty for duty's sake? Say what? Can you give a reference for this 'idea' - it sounds like a misquote of Kant to me...
Fichte is talking about consciousness which he regards as the product of relations with other rational beings. It is therefore necessary for there to be a mutal recognition of rationality by parties to achieve full self-consciousness.
The rest of what you have written is, to me, unintelligable I'm afraid.
