All nationalisms, whether of oppressed or oppressor nations, rest on ethic, exclusivist, racialist, culturally essentialist discourses which, when armed as they tend to be (are there Ghandian nationalists that ever win? I've always wondered if the huge slaughter in India post-Independence was anticipated) end up in megadeath. --- Cuban nationalism is "ethic, exclusivist, racialist, culturally essentialist"?

I gave up on the "all nationalism is bad" line of thinking a long time ago. In fact, I think a small amount of Russuan nationalism is probably good in the present context. By all means, buy Russian products over imports.
