Nationalism is an appropriate response to centuries of foreign exploitation. It is a progressive force in these instances. Or do you think poorly of black nationalists as well?
Is China's decision to do nationalism not a revolutionary tactic? I thought the idea was to try and unite all the different groups under one banner. It's not like there's a lot of Han supremacy or imperialist expansionism associated with Chinese nationalism (at least no where near as bad as white supremacy and baked in imperialism of Western nationalism). It's mostly about working hard and being nice.
That's fair, I guess it's the same situation as the USSR in its post revolutionary revisionist state. Lots of utilization of nationalist language to try and rally the peasant class that resulted in a show burning re-ignition of toxic nationalism.
Hopefully China doesn't go down the same path. Nationalism is a dangerous game to play.
