You fail to take into consideration the concept of proletarian nationalism , and its relationship to the theory of Maoist Third Worldism . Not all of us whom regard ourselves as revolutionary socialists concur with the proletarian internationalism of those such as the Trotskyists . Instead we confess that different nations , and populations are at varying stages of societal development . And so , in our opinion , a one size fits all approach just won't be effectively appropriate .
Potemkin wrote:Nationalism is utterly incapable of resolving the internal contradictions thrown up by capitalism in its current stage of development. What answers does it have? Autarchy? Tarriffs? Mercantilism? Aggressive wars of conquest? Been there, tried that, didn't work. Nationalism, in its traditional sense, died in 1945 and the capitalist elite have no interest in reviving it. Endless national rivalries, destructive wars and genocides and economic autarchy hold little or no appeal for most of the population either. No, some form of internationalism is the future- either capitalist globalisation under the control of a tiny oligarchic elite, or internationalist socialism under the control of the working people themselves. History has no reverse gear.
