Ultranationalism

[spartan]

So what is the difference between Ultranationalism and Nationalism?

Can someone also tell me if there is any self descibed Ultranationalist groups and how they differ from say a Nationalist party, like the BNP, in policies etc?

My thinking is that Ultranationalism is just a more warmongering form of Nationalism and is thus similar to Nazism.

^^^ Is it synonymous with pan-nationalism? :confused:

Someone has been playing COD4 a little too much.

"Extreme nationalism, especially when opposed to international cooperation."

Thats what my google search turned up. Hope it helps, tho I dont see any difference with "normal" nationalism.

Foaming at the mouth as opposed to lack thereof?

Ultranationalism is the word we substitute for "patriotism" when we are talking about Russia (or any other state which might stand in the way for US hegemony). It is to imply that while it is legitime to support the European Union and the USA, it is illegitime to support Russia (word games).

I'd think of it in terms of class struggle, 'nationalism' maybe used by many regular bourgeois republics, but 'ultranationalism' and fascism will only come out when proletarian revolution is so close that the bourgeois state can only survive by utilizing the repressive apparatus of the fascist state against the workers. Whereby these days bourgeois ideas such as 'rule of law', 'free enterprise', 'low taxation' and 'freedom' generally suffice to keep the workers in line, when the workers threatened this the bourgeois state will inevitably tear off these trivialities and use naked oppression against the workers.

Different stages of class struggle I would say.
