I could say “Read Lenin”. Instead, I’m going to ask - do you think national liberation movements to throw off the yoke of imperialism are bad?

China is a sovereign entity, if you have that jingoistic pride bullshit going on after you become independant and a major power player in the world then yes, it is bad to be nationalistic

after you become independant

OK, so already we agree that not all nationalism is toxic. I’m not quit this conversation because I’m not interested in a pointless struggle session over how established a country is allowed to be before any form of nationalism is bad.

Liberation is good. Nationalism as a tool to accomplish it is a double-edged sword.
