That is a Cultural Marxist view constructed to delegitimize the nation state
Nation state has been around since the agricultural revolution
Except it hasn't.
Name one.
Egypt
LMAO
China
Terrible example, because it's false.
China???????
Those are not nation states.
Persia
wtffff
these are all nation states
Stop, let me address how you're wrong one at a time.
they have an authority and border
Egypt's identity was religious and shifted through time, the nation was embodied by the dynasty.
no
Persia really has no national identity.
Yes. You are simply blatantly wrong.
those are or where nations
routinely
no
There was no national identity to speak of.
Yes, routinely.
Muh nations came around in 1850
no thats not a thing
Jalayirids, Mongols, Gokturks, Oghuzi Turks, Scythians.
Persia has repeatedly been conquered.
look at european empires
they had nationalism for as long as they where around
look at mercantilism
Mercantilism was based on the acquirement of resources.
Has nothing to do with nationalism.
How about we start by you defining what a nation state is because it clearly is not what an actual nation state is if you think Persia and Egypt and China were nation states.
France was not even a nation before the French Revolution. It was numerous languages and *communal* cultures. People did not speak "French" outside of the Ile-de-France.
Same thing in China.
Mandarin, the word itself, refers to the court language of the Qing dynasty. People did not speak Mandarin. There were various local languages. Same as France.
There was no national identity to speak of.
You are simply historically incorrect on this.
The word Mandarin literally comes from the Portuguese word for minister.
