Well, it was for a long time, but a look at the contemporary Left shows that they are into mystical nationalism up to "wazoo." They worship "indigenous" cultures who claim to have literally emerged from their "sacred motherlands" and hate the United States precisely because it's an "artificial" nation. They also always seem to defend "national sovereignty" whenever it applies to Cuba or South Korea (or Saudi Arabia, for that matter).
I wonder if at some point the globalism of the Left will run into the anti-globalist mystical nationalism of the Left? It would be fun to watch.
