internationalism  or nationialism which is better?

Internationalism is generally a cover to boost the power of certain nations and their ruling classes over others, so I suppose I prefer nationalism which keeps a modicum of independence.\n\nBut localism is better than either.

Personaly nothing, in fact I think soceity would become a better to live in fo we were to become a secular nation.\nNo more people using religion to push their ideology onto others, or trying to hinder peoples lifestyle or dictate how one should live or can not live.

Personally, I subscribe to the wonderful dictum of the very witty Dr. Johnson: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."  (Honorable mention to Bertrand Russell's "patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.")  I have the utmost loyalty to my personal values, among which a commitment to the idea that human dignity is universal is quite prominent.  I contribute as much as possible to improving my local community, but this is not out of a sense of fanatical preference: rather, it is the result of the fact that I can more efficiently maximize the results of my efforts at a local level than at a global one.\n\n----------\n\nAs for your question, I think it may have radically different answers depending on what social group you talk about.  Most Mexican people are quite nationalistic, just like most American people are (and I do not mean this as a compliment).  Guatemala is a country that has been utterly divided by a civil war that killed close to 200,000 people, mostly indigenous people, and those divisions make it a country in which there is less of a sense of national identity.

They were out numbered for one by the triple entente, militarism was another, along with Industrialization, and nationalism. the triple entente was an alliance between three big countries, militarism was all of the weapons, industrialization was the advanced weapons and other sources, and nationalism was ones love for their country enabling them to fight for it.

It isn't.  But you knew that.  A better question would be:  Why is U.S. foreign policy imperialistic?

Communism = From each, according to ability.  To each, according to need. (Everyone works; he who needs, gets.)\n\nSocialism = From each, according to ability.  To each, according to deeds. (Everyone works, he who works harder or better or smarter gets more)

Nationalism is a form of identity that holds that (ethnically or culturally defined) nations are the "fundamental units" for human social life, and makes certain cultural and political claims based upon that belief; in particular, the claim that the nation is "the only legitimate basis for the state", and that "each nation is entitled to its own state." Nationalism also refers to the specific ideologies of various nationalist movements, which make cultural and political claims on behalf of specific nations.\n\nPatriotism denotes positive attitudes by individuals to their own perceived civic or political community, to its culture, its members, and to its interests. Actions towards other countries, or to non-civic groups, are not generally described as patriotic, and they may be referred to by a specific name, such as pro-Greek philhellenism. Patriotism is closely related to nationalism. Differences between the two are commonly claimed to be that patriotism is primarily emotional and related to positive attitudes to one's own community, while nationalism combines both positive attitudes to one's own community and negative attitudes to other communities and is related to war

http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20011002\n\nPatriotism can be defined simply as 'love and loyal support of one's country'. Yes, it's centered in feeling–and, as we've seen in past weeks, the emotion is deep and intense. \n\nBut when people take patriotism to a fanatic extreme, this is usually called nationalism. (The terms jingoism and chauvinism are near synonyms.) Nationalism is more centered in thought than in feeling; it's actually a political and social philosophy. The Columbia Encyclopedia defines it as "a collective state of mind or consciousness in which people believe their primary duty and loyalty is to the nation-state. Often nationalism implies national superiority and glorifies various national virtues. Thus love of nation may be overemphasized; concern with national self-interest to the exclusion of the rights of other nations may lead to international conflict." So, because nationalism is the belief that national interests and security are more important than international considerations, it often goes hand in hand with a militaristic foreign policy. It also tends to encourage cultural conformity and intolerance.

Republic.\n\nAnd I am partial to republics.\n\nHowever, a tyranny with me as supreme leader would be best.

Giving someone the best of your knowledge, skills, or desires when their fingers have been retrieved from a dog's stomach is not existentialism. It is humanitarianism.

I like the arguement of McWorld versus Jyhad, since the source of Jyhad is in the concept of tribal struggle (despite what the muslims say, the word jyhad pre-dates Islam by about a half a millenium and is actually a reference to tribal strife of that intercene area).\n\nI would say that McWorld has some strong advantages, but is the type of policy that will eventually pull defeat from the jaws of victory.  McWorld increases the isolation of the individual, and individuals being social animals,respond accordingly with increased resistence to globalism and isolationalism.\n\nIf you are instead refearing to the war of the idea of a natonal identity versus a global identity, instead of the concept of isolationalism and globalism, then I would say the 20th century is evidenced in the globalism of the USA and the West.

Socialism is an ideology with the core belief that society should exist in which popular collectives control the means of power, and therefore the means of production.\n\nNational Socialism refers to the 'beleifs' of the nazi party. Socialism was added to the end of nationalist party to make it sound more appealing to voters in the days of the Weimar republic, Germany.
