Entry: What Is Nationalism? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_is_nationalism#29303 Post contents: "All of us often speak about both communism and nationalism as if they were singular and monolithic for the purposes of general discussion and definition." Never were truer words written. What Daniel Larison is describing is what we call "categories of discourse" which are all around us in addition to nationalism and communism. Categories like paleolibertarians or paleoconservatives or conservative or consitutionalist or citizenism (Steve Sailer's favorite) serve more to divert us that to educate us. It is hard work to describe exactly what we mean without relying on flawed categories of discourse, but until we learn to do it, we are history's losers. (Now that's a category of discourse!)
