Nationalism is evil? So being proud to be Swedish,German,Italian,British,Spanish,Austrian,etc is evil.
As Nigel Farage often says “we want a peaceful,prosperous Europe...a Europe of cooperation but not one of bureaucratic oppression” (not an exact quote).

Putting one’s own nation first above global concerns is just fine in my book.

Its worse than evil, its racists. Especially if they don't want their homelands invaded by millions of Third-worlders or to be politically dominated by unelected, unaccountable sodomite Globo-Marxists in Brussels.

Individual sovereignty is better than unaccountable state bureaucratic socialism/totalitarianism. State sovereignty upholding individual sovereignty is better that unaccountable national bureaucratic socialism/totalitarianism. National sovereignty upholding state sovereignty upholding individual sovereignty is better than international unaccountable bureaucratic socialism/totalitarianism.

Unaccountable, unchecked, criminals/collectives/bureaucrats/socialists/totalitarians caused all this plunder and death.

Witness history. Witness current events. Witness future events.

Witness Switzerland.

They have to decry nationalism because they are so socialist. You see socialism isn't evil if you aren't a nationalist. Let me demonstrate.

Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or in English National Socialist German Workers' Party aka Nazi. No one wants to be called a Nazi, heck they even created an Internet meme so anytime they are called a Nazi they can claim they won the argument. So what they have done is this...

National Socialist German Workers Party.

See if you remove the nationalism being a Nazi is completely ok according to what the liberals laughingly refer to as their minds. Nationalism is what made the Nazi's so evil of course. If they were more internationalist they wouldn't have tried to spread their ideology internationally...or something like that. Past a certain point it's hard to follow the stupidity.

This is one of the most important platforms of the Socialist International, that nations are superfluous, and that all peoples must be homogenized so that there are no unique cultures, histories, or even languages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_International

They crave a world full of gray people, ruled by a one world socialist government, with nations replaced by socialist districts in economic blocs.

Their world is without religion, barren, dying, with all resources rationed by government elites to “the masses”. Where both success and failure are discouraged as the anti-social emphasis on individuality instead of the collective.

This is the wasteland they offer, yet socialists crave this, preferring death to individuality, freedom and liberty; to strip people of their faces, living like insects or herd animals.

Yet they don’t want this for themselves. They want to inflict this horror on others. If they lived in such a “socialist paradise”, with only others of their kind, they would be miserable, because there would be no one to force or coerce to join them at the cost of their life, which is their real desire.

There would be no productivity, only life with cancer and no treatment. True socialism only exists in the graveyard.

Yes, and is confident enough to be brazen about it. The EU is a blight.

I agree with your overview, but IMO this is corporatist oppression rather than socialist. Not that it makes much difference, as the path may vary but the end objective is for the elite to live well at the expense of powerless serfs.

I have yet to be convinced that nationalism is wrong or evil. I believe the discouragement of nationalism is why we have Obama.

I remember reading James Burnham's "Suicide of the West" back ages ago when I was in high school. I thought it was over the top and too depressing. Sadly, Burnham was correct. This is an example of a self-hating paragon of post-Christian Western Civilization, a dead zone. They control the high points of culture in the West today.

A backlash is building. The correction is long overdue and I don't know why it's taken so long, but I think we're in for cultural wars within the West. Mass immigration of unassimilatable peoples is stoking the fire. No go zones in Sweden, France, Holland, Belgium and the UK haven't made an impression on this Swede.

It's going to be ugly. And the fault lays strictly on the leftists, liberals and other self-haters.
