And yes, it is "one" definition
but I understand the two of you
But I can find you how many just like it?
Point is being patriotic alone isnt what makes you a nationalist.
There is a reason synonyms include jingoism
And chauvinism
I find that patriotism is more state-connected
Its just a love for country
and thus I prefer nationalism
as the word of choice
Its JUST a love of country, nationalism is believing in the supremacy of that country, relative to others
Idc how we pollute terms
look at the terms' origins
"patria" clearly is a certain country/ state
but nation is not state
Nation is nation, i.e. a people, a culture, all of the above
How are those embodied in a country? Through the state...
Let me clear this up. My views are as follows, I am a social democrat as a general rule, however, unlike many leftists, I believe that national identity is intristically important, and that national interests have value in serving the general populus, when the don't conflict with the democratic interests of the people. Terms like nationalist and patriot are inherently obscurant, my views can only be described as what I've stated in this paragraph. If you disagree with me views, fine, but I won't debate something as meaningless as the terms stated as these were just a convenient way of stating the above. If you were unsure before you shouldn't be now. If you still think I'm a nazi I'd LOVE to hear it.
*my views
Thats not being a leftist
Social democrats
Are liberals
leftist is a relative term
if you think social democracy isn't remotely left wing then you are marginally insane
Social democrats are actual peronists.
honestly seek help if you think that. You think an actual nazi would think that bernie sanders is a fucking rightist? Fuck off you idiot
Leftist is relative within systems only, and
The systems as a whoke
actually, I think left and right are stupid terms
Are known as liberal
He obviously said he wasnt american
call them what they are, but not that
how are anarchists and tankies in the same category
bloody stupid
Lsft and right refers to their positions in general on an axis
that doesn't exist
Not within a given political system relative to one another
And it does
Hence every test you've ever taken
Its just a means of organizing things
