From: "Old Goat" <olgoat-AT-nebi.com> Subject: Re: uber nationalism Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 13:37:27 -0600 Is there a difference in "nationalism" and "patriotism"? I recall Dr. Samuel Johnson's (1709-1784)caveat, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." (quoted by James Boswell). If they are synonymous then the concept existed at least as far back as the 18th century. old goat ----- Original Message ----- From: "roger" <diogenes.jones-AT-attbi.com> Subject: uber nationalism > i know we're all having too much fun taking offense and insulting each > other, but my question about the nature and roots of nationalism > (amerikan or other) is still an intriguing one. > > marxism never really got to terms with this one; and a case could be > made that it foundered on the conundrum. and what happens to > classical european nationalism when it's 'transplanted' into > multi-ethnic amalgams of humanity? just wondering. > > roger > >
