Is nationalism inherently collectivist ?
Discussion
I think of this often
But I still do not have an answer
The deeper I think on almost any topic, I usually end up coming to the realization that reality is relative to each individual and there is the possibility than another’s reality might be so foreign to me that I could never grasp why they make the decisions they do or believe the things they believe, no matter how much effort I put towards trying to make sense of it.
Yes, it doesn't mean it's necessary communist. But it's not individualistic.
Yes. But collectivism is a spectrum.
I’m a commie in my home, but I recognise the limitations of that form of collectivism and don’t want it at any greater scale than that.
Nationalism should not incorporate people who would clearly be different nationalities.
The idea that the United States for example is a nation of 50 States is retarded, there’s minimum a dozen nations there and for it to be well governed throughout it should probably be 2500 nations.
Unless we move to a world with 100,000 Lichtensteins we will not get past this current moment in history.
