>The way I see it is that the nation is doing the dirty work to provide us with priviliges of being a citizen of a powerful nation.
>Forceful coups, funding militias and terrorists and the military to keep the money flowing towards our rich nations.
Nation has racial connotations.
> He describes nationalism as "power-hunger tempered by self-deception
Is a quote from him.
It also implies collectivism, which is why the quote that this other anon posted mentions the sinking of identity.

Patriotism, on the other hand, he defined as:
> "devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people".
Which imples an individual preference for certain values and a place.

For example, a foreign-born naturalized citizen can be a patriot, but he cannot be a nationalist.
The main component of nationalism is the submission to the collective.
