NATIONALISM

Nationalism is a extreme form of Moral Authoritarianism.

It is a concept of identity which members of a particular nation or group may collectively feel. Nationalists strive to create or sustain a nation based on a specific notions of political legitimacy (country, ethnie, class, religion...).

Depending on the specific content of a nationalism, it may or may not necessarily imply that one nation is better than another. At times it simply argues that a given nation is better off when it is permitted to govern themselves, following its own political, economic, and cultural interests independently.

All forms of nationalism must answer the question of who belongs to the nation and who does not. Early theories of nationalism took the view that the existence and boundaries of a nation were the natural consequence of ethnicity and geography. More recent theories argue that the concept of nations is a socially constructed phenomenon
