The relationship between fascism and nationalism is often close - the urge to see my nation/race/group/religious or political faith as proof of superiority often seems to lead to the urge to conquer or oppress the ‘other’. I seem to remember Orwell writing of the difference between patriotism and nationalism being that the patriot loves their own country, but has no desire to impose its traditions on others. Does anyone remember that quote more accurately?
