In a discussion about Nationalism I left the following comment:

When the Left speaks of Nationalism they mean Fascism, which was a product of the same intellectual movement as Marxism. Both came from Rousseau's philosophy. He wanted to replace God with the People and the Church with the State. Nationalism in the Leftist view is a religious system. What we mean by Nationalism is patriotism for our individual countries. They don't like that because they don't want countries but rather seek a kind of Nimrodian empire over all. We argue there is an optimal size for any organization, particularly a state, and that a global government is a terrible danger to liberty and to creativity and the creation of wealth. They believe bigger is better. But one needs some potassium in one's diet but too much kills you and likewise too much government or too large a government has a similar effect.
