And that, besides that, nationalism is not a mere question of "wishywashy emotion", but also is conditioned by scientifc, mesureable, rational factors like economy.

>He meant "nationalism" in a bigoted sense: nationalism in Eritrea, Chechnya, Kosovo, East Timor and the Indian reservations in America is way different than White Anglo-Saxon Protestant nationalism in the US (i.e. the "Religious Right"). The former is a struggle to obtain and preserve liberty to speak one's own language, to live in one's own culture, to follow one's own spiritual path. The other is just chauvinism.
