What is Nationalism

To quote wiki "

Nationalism refers to an ideology, a sentiment, a form of culture, or a social movement that focuses on the nation.^[1] It is a type of collectivism emphasizing the collective of a specific nation. While there is significant debate over the historical origins of nations, nearly all specialists accept that nationalism, at least as an ideology and social movement, is a modern phenomenon originating in Europe.^[2] Precisely where and when it emerged is difficult to determine, but its development is closely related to that of the modern state and the push for popular sovereignty that came to a head with the French Revolution in the late 18th century. Since that time, nationalism has become one of the most significant political and social forces in history, perhaps most notably as a major influence or cause of World War I and especially World War II with the rise of fascism, a radical and authoritarian nationalist ideology.^[3][4][5][6]

As an ideology, nationalism holds that 'the people' in the doctrine of popular sovereignty is the nation, and that as a result only nation-states founded on the principle of national self-determination are legitimate. Since most states are multinational, or at least home to more than one group claiming national status,^[7] in many cases nationalist pursuit of self-determination has caused conflict between people and states including war^[8] (both external and domestic), secession; and in extreme cases, genocide.

Nationalism is a strong social phenomenon in the world as national flags, national anthems and national divisions are examples of 'banal' nationalism that is often mentally unconscious.^[9] Moreover, some scholars argue that nationalism as a sentiment or form of culture, sometimes described as 'nationality' to avoid the ideology's tarnished reputation, is the social foundation of modern society. Industrialization, democratization, and support for economic redistribution have all been at least partly attributed to the shared social context and solidarity that nationalism provides.^[10][11][12]

Even though nationalism ultimately is based on supporting ones own nation, nationalists of different states may perfectly well cooperate among each other as to support the ultimate worldwide belief that all groups of nationalities have the right to have their own nations.

Nevertheless, nationalism remains a hotly contested subject on which there is little general consensus. The clearest example of opposition to nationalism is cosmopolitanism, with adherents as diverse as liberals, Marxists, and anarchists, but even nationalism's defenders often disagree on its virtues, and it is common for nationalists of one persuasion to disparage the aspirations of others for both principled and strategic reasons. Indeed, the only fact about nationalism that is not in dispute may be that few other social phenomena have had a more enduring impact on the modern world."

There have been and are many Nationalist states in the world, some are extreme and obnoxious such as Nazi Germany, Zimbabwe and others too numerous to mention, but there are some where Nationalism can and does work for the good of its people and country such as Ataturk Nationalism in Turkey. Ataturk is anti racist and also pro secularism which in a country like ours is a good thing.

Because of the Nazis Nationalism has been tarnished as racist by anyone opposed to it and in this country that means all of the greedy fat pigs that are in power at the moment are against it and put across an anti racist stance (even though they promote associations for ethnic minorities and are about to outlaw all indigineous organisations - which is also racist). This blog will make a stand and highlight all of these issues and more so watch out all the Marxists, Liberals and other anti nationalist because we are coming for you and we will wake the people up and show you for what you really are.
