the problem is one persons nationalism is another's something or other
think I heard this phrase before, one mans garbage is another mans treasure.. or something like that
its all about nationalism at some level. the soviets co'oped the Russian empire .. rebranded through their own on top.
the usa is a very nationalistic place.. all nations are.. that's why they are nations
now destroy nationalism.. eh... good luck, how? extreme nationalism? sure, that's called being the good neighbor. no to destroy the ones that say, screw you my nationalism trumps yours? and I invade you? and kill you because mine is better?
well that's what we have had through out history. problem is humans suck .. humans in groups suck even more, humans in very large groups with good weapons.. well they suck the most. in the end we are not much better than any other creature on this planet, we hunt, kill, reproduce and defend our children and nests. you would think we would grow beyond that it is the 21st century , alas, I give you 18 years of us war in the middle east, I give you the Yugoslav wars, Chechnya, central America, Somalia, sri lanka, ISIS, and other groups, I give you colonialism, korea, the USA, Japan, Nazi Germany, the USSR the British, the French, the Chinese, all of world war II and world war I .. pol pot, mao, stalin and others...
humans suck
nationalism is just group expression for this is my turf .. this in turn gets bastardized into .. hey that's my turf too or that was my turf.. or you look close enough to me and that should be my turf
So communisms big scare was they decided to squelch on debts.. Then play World revolution . Then Stalinism.. This in turned scared entrenched business.. This was turned into don't trust Russians and or socialism let alone communism which became the antithesis of capitalism and greed. Hence why labor is vilified in the USA.
Nationalism never scared business.. Hell business made money on nationalism. Just ask Ford, IBM and others
