Obviously the previous anti-nationalism that they had was not real. How do we make nationalism uncool? It should be embarrassing but I see liberals saying deeply nationalistic things all the time without a hint of self awareness about it.
It's all fun & games until one runs into Palestinian nationalism, Bolivian nationalism, Venezuelan nationalism, South African nationalism...etc, etc, etc.
I do not believe that opposing bourgeoise-nationalism does anything to harm proletarian-nationalism. They are easily distinguished, and when people don't intuitively see that they're different things they are easily explained. Opposing nationalism in the imperial core will always be about bourgeoise-nationalism because there is no proletarian-nationalism within it.
How do we fix that?
