To all nationalist fags
Funny you’d post a pic of Kim given that Juche actively promotes nationalism.
Same shit
sovereignty to be ruled by other porkies, theres no sovereignty under capitalism
Ridiculous, the primary material benefit of belonging to a national identity is the strengthened social relations you gain between yourself and other members of that nationality. Such a relation is supported by cultural and linguistic factors which inevitably lead to alienation between individuals of differing nationalities, which in turn causes people to value individuals of their own nationality over others. Such a mechanism of alienation exists between all group identities, and no exception can be made for nationalism.
Even if many of those countries objectively improve the conditions of its citizens, its national identity makes them identify with institutions of power which take away power and commodities from them, even if they are called the peoples institutions. National identity leads to the revolucionary stall at the dictatorship of the proletariat, because it almost metaphysically legitimizes institutions which should be aimed at their self-destruction over time, inhibiting the advancment of class conciousness and class struggle in favor or struggle for the nation, relating said institutions deeply to the sense of self of the proletariat.
A nation is just as much as a spook as class is.
Just saying a nation is abstract does not make it so.
Nations are made up of people who share the same culture, language, history and/or religion.
You must have only read "National identity is just a spook" to belive that what you said adressed the point made in the post i any meaningful way
you complained about nations your point is very weak
If that was true it should be easy to approach and dismiss the other points made in the argument and reach a conclusion
