    Nationalism = chauvinism by definition. My nation is better than others. They literally call themselves Patriotic Socialists so they don’t call themselves Nationalist Socialists (and not just of the connotation to the Nazis)

    Patsocs and Nationalist right-wingers always try to equate sense of duty/love of to one’s country as nationalism. Otherwise, they would have to admit their racist undertones.

      Nationalism = chauvinism by definition

      I would slightly alter that and say “nationalism in uncolonized nations = chauvinism by definition”. Because nationalism can be a progressive force in anti-colonial struggles
