The problem with current calls for progressive or even leftist nationalism is NOT the nationalism but that they are without content. Flag waving & statue building alone doesn't win points. The right's nationalism, by contrast, has content (xenophobia).

The “imagined community” has to be the same. The right views patriotism as an expression not of American nationalism but of conservatism. See how they chant “USA” as a response to liberal protest. The issue is that we don’t have one nation but two. One based on myth one on fact
