Default Nationalism

Just thought I would add a nationalist section to talk about the ideology as there was a liberal section on the forum.

Linsell (2001) “Nationalists are concerned for the wellbeing of there nation. The vast majority of people feel an instinctive attachment to a nation and are concerned to see it survive and prosper. In this sense most people are nationalists. Political nationalists see nations and national identity as central to their political thinking and outlook on life. Gender class and race are all secondary considerations because nationality is greater than all of those things. For a nationalist, nationality is the widest communal identity, and the one that is central to any valid claim for the right to self government. The primary concerns of nationalists are the attainment or preservation of national unity, national identity, national independence, national self-government and the general wellbeing of their nation.”

Linsell, T., 2001. An English Nationalism, Norfolk, Athelney.

Please don’t post White Supremacist messages or links to Nazi Germany as it really is not relevant and generally goes around in circles.
