After reading @QuasLacrimas nuanced bit on nationalism, I have a suggestion: We use a better word: Parochialism or (my fav) Particularism.

Interesting suggestion. I guess you're saying "Let's retreat to a defensible position over on Mt. Parochialism"

Undeniable that Nationalism 1750-1900 was a left phenomena. Who wants that baggage?

Right! Hmm. 3 lvls we're looking at here then (a) did nations exist? (b) where parochial-type loyalties directed at nations?

(c) did states base claim to authority on nations/loyalty to nations? -c- is very likely new, tied to Fr Rev etc. But a/b?

Conceding a/b as ideas from "the left" (lol) because "nations don't real" (lolol) is, to speak in metaphor, terrible strategy

(That said, just in general I am less willing to accept leftist claims about which ideas were novel/progressive than you are)
