>>2896193>Is nationalism inherently against leftist ideology?How do we can say if something is inherently against YOUR own logical system of judgement, while we'd already have problems in establishing what is leftism, what is leftist and what is not. It is an intuitive standart in political scenery, deriving from the French Revolutionary Parliament, where (as I suppose) Radical Republicans and Constitutional Monarchists sat aside left and right sides of the parliament.
Nationalism for me is usually hollow in content, as it seems extremely inaccurate to assume for some properties of a person, holding the national or genetical descent of them as the justification. We cannot even hold the claim that two individuals practicing similar cultural rites will have similar bevahioral patterns, beliefs, and so on.
We can also note, in many romantic tales of love, a person usually holds a particular other above other objects, to the extreme that other people became irrelevant.
In many religions, God is also an omnipotent companion. Through him one does find comfort, and through history, shed blood.
One of the prominent teachings of the God is that, the great human family is created equal in his eyes and can find it.
For the Russian Revolution experience, All-Union Communist Party intelligentsia was initially very opposed to nationalism, with perhaps stressing that there is people of counterrevolutionaries and the bourgeouis, and the others. This, in fact, was more sensible discrimination/categorization for the revolutionary whim. Someone who is sympathetic to the white movement would tell more about that person in relation with the revolution than whether he is Azerbaijani, Russian, Latvian or Georgian..
There is also an influx of American specialists to the Union, who without a doubt contributed big to the 5 year plan.
Of course, some cultural rites of some nationalities, let's say South American tribes, are reactionary in the sense it prohibits extensive development of the productive forces or a moment for change.
But regardless, you hating on the entire group of black people or whatever on the basis like "crime rates",which would be 100 in 100.000 people, while white people would be like 10 in 100k, is absurd. There is barely any difference between 99.900 and 99.990 innocent people per 100k people, and categorizing an entire people in a supposed homogenous group would not be any accurate at all. A funny thing to note is that like Polish minority had like 5k crime rate per 100k people as I know in the German Empire. Which of course shouldn't make the Polish people in general subhumans, based on that abstract standart.

>>2896323>Our "right" would prefer a muslim from chechnya to a russian liberal let alone a homosexual (which i am)Probably more people will share a similar belief towards homosexuality than towards their idea of nationalism, which is usually about protecting the cultural rites of old, which for them, the people of the nation naturally, magrstically and rightfully developed ( rather than being subjected to the conditions of the nature/world in general ), your homosexuality may be "unpatriotic" to them.
What is a kinda funny thing is that amongst people of sexualities you are a minority, while people of nationalities you are a majority. And seemingly you desire sympathy for your minority position while showing none to the other minority position.
Hope you can find a semblance of tranquility in these stormy days though.
