    American chauvinism & xenophobia are not the same things as patriotic socialism & proletarian internationalism in America, which by themselves are not mutually exclusive

    USSR never deterritorialized patriotism, it was always tied to the reality of the land & the people of the constituent republics & fraternal relations among socialist nations

      again you didn't read the first comment, as it was exactly my point, the patriotism in the ussr was as much tied to the outside friendly nations as it was to the republics, which were already a deterritorialization compared to bourgeois patriotism, and always subservient to the greater well being of the soviets
