You make a good point. Nationalism in socialist projects still deserves scrutiny.

Fascist and fascist adjacent nationalism tends to define the "nation" in a way that excludes and endangers entire demographics who often wield little power to begin with.

I'd argue that nationalism itself isn't inherently bad though. Many anti-colonial movements are nationalist, and AES countries have nationalist traits.

I feel that. I wish I could be smug about dropping a childhood fascination for political reasons but it was never really interesting.

If you really wanted capitalism gone, getting rid of humans is a lasting solution. The tricky part is getting the humans on board with the plan.

It's probably a lot easier to convince the humans to just do communism.

Unionise, strikes, mutual aid, and other forms of collective action that leverage the power of a group of people to their benefit.

(Athel for short)

it would imply the "non-rogue" Russians are somehow better.

This "Good guys or Bad guys" logic is why libs keep simping for any nazi that has the same enemy as them.
