Nationalism as a social construct

Re this edit and this revert, this doesn't look to me like an "either it is or it is not" situation. Rather, it looks like a situation where there are conflicting points of view (see e.g., [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], etc.). It looks to me as if WP:DUE ought to be considered.

We seem to be back on this. Identical IP address again dropping in "social construct" with no comment. I reverted because I remember it as a point of contention, and I want to get it documented here. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 21:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Nationalism in the novel

I have suggested on the on the Talk page of Novel [9] that a section from that article on 'Nationalism in the novel' might possibly be moved to this article. Would this be acceptable? Rwood128 (talk) 14:18, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

But see subsequent comment re deleting the section because it is original research. Rwood128 (talk) 13:04, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

National socialism

The reference to "Left-wing nationalism (occasionally known as socialist nationalism, not to be confused with national socialism)" is not correct. National socialism is virtually indistinguishable from socialist nationalism. The Nazi Party was a far left party as much as a far right one, just as left wing national socialists are far right as well as far left.Royalcourtier (talk) 09:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Very Biased Opinions on this page.

The very definitions of nationalism and patriotism on this page are dubious at best.

To say that patriotism is merely social conditioning and supporting state actions is a joke.

In addition, there is an entire section for "critics corner" that calls in to question the very notion of what a nation is and makes no mention of the blood and sacrifice of treasure that was necessary to create a state of free people.

It is times like this where I question whether Wikipedia is really a resource or whether it is place for political agendas to be expressed by people with way too much time on their hands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:402:500:4DA:3D90:C880:3DB3:9E5D (talk) 16:38, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is intended to be an index to publications elsewhere, not a resource itself. You should not rely on, or quote, text from Wikipedia itself, it is intended only as a guide to find the actual publications of interest. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Improvements May 2016

I'm going to be making some improvements to the page as there seem to be various sections that are either showing an unbalanced perspective or are unclear. If anyone wants to discuss / dispute my edits please discuss them here. Thermocycler (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

White nationalism

Why remove linking to White nationalism from here? This seems to be a variety of nationalism, as follows from the name. My very best wishes (talk) 20:34, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

It's a type of ethnic nationalism. We'd have to add Black nationalism, Zionism, and all other types of ethnonationalism to be consistent if WN is to be re-added. Zaostao (talk) 20:55, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Any sources to support such opinion? Page Ethnic nationalism does not even mention white nationalism. My very best wishes (talk) 20:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Racial nationalism is a better general term for black/white nationalism, I agree with your change. Zaostao (talk) 21:26, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Recent Developments

Since the elections of Rodrigo Duterte and Donald Trump, the general rise of nationalism in Europe (including Russia) and the Brexit vote, would it be appropriate to add some sort of "recent developments" section? 156.26.239.36 (talk) 19:38, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
