Contrary to popular belief, nationalism is most commonly a left-wing ideology. This is partly because many people wrongly associate authoritarian 'tough' stances with right-wing politics, when left and right on the spectrum is determined entirely by economic stance. Mainly however, nationalists tend to prefer a slightly socialistic economy as opposed to a capitalistic economy. They often oppose globalisation in many forms, saying that the outsourcing of jobs to foreign lands increases unemployment in their homeland, which ultimately stifles the nation's ability to determine itself. It is no suprise then, that with that immigration and sometimes emigration is opposed.

Nationalists are not only concerned with the welfare of their own nations, although they do not wish to interfere at all in that of others, because they often believe that every nation has a right to self-determination. So when mass immigration occurs in their country, they are not only concerned that this might cause a dissolution of their culture/ethnicity and a strain on the national infrastructure

The person who invented Fascism was Mussolini who was a disgruntled socialist who had attended anti war demonstrations before coming up with it.

And of course, we have the national socialists or the Nazis who.....while weren't socialists in the modern sense had socialist policies that are still pursued today.

Hitler himself said that the easiest people to flip over to his party were the Marxists because like him what they wanted most of all was the destruction of the system.

It's why 12 percent of Sander's supporters ended up voting Trump.

Just out of interest "authentic xenophobia"... As opposed to ...?

Obviously, you can embrace one or a number of facets without embracing them all. It does appear, however, that some don't seem to understand that.

Obvious, to some I suppose, and not so much to others, obviously.

"authentic Xenophobia " on the other hand - what do you mean by that? (I'm genuinely intrigued) you seemed to have avoided answering the question.
It's an interesting statement,what would be its alternative?

And of course we all believe everything someone has typed into the Urban dictionary. If you are going to copy and paste something at least disguise it a little or acknowledge the source.

Remember former Labour leader Ed Miliband's 'One Nation' vision. That's nationalism.

He wanted a Britain of "patriotism, loyalty, dedication to the common cause courses through the veins of all, and nobody feels left out".

OK, he wasn't a good leader but perhaps a fair-minded socialist who I don't recall promoted a feeling of superiority over others.

More typical is Labour's Emily Thornberry who was sacked for sneering at a house flying the England flag.

And what about Fidel Castro's Cuban and Latin American nationalism?

Nationalism is prevalent across the political spectrum, is good and bad.

National.

Nationalism.

One is an extension of the other. There can be extreme nationalism just as their can be extreme any political ideology.....just as you have the left and the far left for example.

However, I'm a nationalist and I'm not extreme. I don't see myself as genetically superior nor do I wish to physically hurt anyone else just because they are from a different nation.

Still, facts don't matter to the far left agenda machine. They just want to push out lies.

And Nationalists of different nations team up regularly to combat the EU. So this idea that being a nationalist means you hate anyone who isn't in your nation is just incredibly simplistic and BS.

A nationalist believes in the concept of nations as the best methodology for the advancement of humanity.

Doug Stanhope is a drunk and I can debunk all his points....they are as simplistic as he is. Of course, he might not actually be serious...being that it's a routine. But there you go.


As simplistic as your put down of a man who has a much larger audience than you could ever dream of having?

Considering he’s known as an activist, I’d Imagine that every word he says in that clip is said with as much seriousness, as it is delivered with humour.

I believe that what I said was not that one did not need to do research but rather that I did not need to do any research to confirm that you could not substantiate the claims that you making at the time as they were statistically impossible. Hope that clarifies it for you and glad to have helped to improve your citation of sources.

I answered your question and now you have another one.

Authentic xenophobia in my view is the type which is born from the irrational. There are many rational reasons why one might not approve of other cultures. Medieval religious dogma for example.

How can you say it’s the truth? Clearly it is an opinion. Mathematics is the only truth. Everything else is subjective.

Firstly talking about his audience size is a pure appeal to popularity and says nothing about whether he's right or not.

The people I follow have far larger audiences than he does yet I wouldn't make that argument as evidence for being right. So hence that point is a pure dick measuring argument and hence a childish one.

If his arguments in that clip are serious then they are easily shown up as poor logic. Anyone who agrees with them as presented is a shallow thinker.

As an aside, I do wish you learnt how to post properly.
