Nationalism must be distinguished from patriotism. Patriotism is fundamental to liberty because pride in oneâs nation-state, and a willingness to defend it if necessary, is the basis of national independence. Patriotism is the courage of national self-determination. By contrast, nationalism is patriotism transformed into a sentiment of superiority and aggression toward other countries. Nationalism is the poisonous idea that oneâs country is superior to somebody elseâs. Nationalism is intrinsically a cause of war and imperialism.
The term patriotic refers to believing strongly in one's country and defending its honor. A person who possesses this patriotic spirit or patriotism is called a patriot. Naturally, a patriot is bound to feelings of national loyalty because of an intense and passionate love of country. For as long as there has been history, there have been men and women who were patriots.
