Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism

But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.

Nationalism: the love of tribal fictions inspired by the hatred of social realities.

Why is it that those who want to destroy everything good about their country are the quickest to waive the national flag?

The ''Communism'' of the English intellectual is something explicable enough. It is the patriotism of the deracinated.
