    many anti-imperialist groups have used nationalism as a tool to radicalize the masses of their country against their imperialist overlord. Though, they usually define nationalism as the belief in their nation and its people. Rather than the western definition, that being that a nation is better than another.

    it seems to be mostly just westerners who see nationalism as inherently bad.

    From this thread:

    I would consider National Bolshevism as more of a right wing ideology since it is not internationalist as opposed to Marxism Leninism (where there in fact exists nationalism, for example Ho Chi Minh was one, but it is combined with internationalism). National Anarchism is simply one of the stupidest things it could exist, since anarchism is a proponent of a stateless society therefore it is contradictory to its roots; it can be considered as much anarchist as Anarcho Capitalism.

    Basically, Marxism Leninism can be nationalist and left wing at the same time.

    National Socialism? LOL

    Yes you’d probably get nationalism from big government lefties, but not from anarcho-leftists. Support for authoritarianism lends itself to nationalism because it requires a certain level of trust in the government.
