Entry: A Response to Dan Larison Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_response_to_dan_larison#25388 Post contents: Amen to Mr. Wilson, who's done his homework and read Hayes. 1. Nationalism is a 19th C invention, and an invention of the Jacobins, it not existing in the time of Elizabeth I and Richelieu. 2. Nationalism is also a "proposition", not a reality (Richard Sennett's "retribalization"), and thus is also very much an ideology. Nationalism cause two world wars, the mess in Ireland, the mess in Palestine, the mess in the Balkans, La Raza, Aryan Nation, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the lynching of Italians in New Orleans, racialism, Judeophobia, and Rev. Wright. Reason enough to despise it. Sent at: 2008 10 13
