Anti-nationalism in left wing politics
Most of the anti-nationalists who believe that eventually the world should be one unified community (usually after a worldwide social revolution of some type) make a notable exception for the preservation of culture and often also identity politics by extension. These adherents also do not necessarily repudiate the concept of national boundaries as such. Their argument is that nationalism is unfavourable when it leads to things like chauvinism, jingoism and militarism, but in some senses can also be constructive when its inherent passion and dedication are applied to anti-oppression contexts, such as national liberation movements, ethnic nationalist resistance movements (such as the historic United States Black Panther Party), and other similar contexts. Interestingly, most Marxist-Leninists around the world, mostly considered by the politically unaffiliated to be towards the left of the mainstream, advocate this position or something close to it, and have historically done so.
I know it’s wiki but it explains why no flag overseas, no pin, no hand over heart...but the BLACK PANTHERS are fine!
