It can be that too, and in some small quantities always is in my opinion. But it is also a powerful, if dangerous, weapon that can sometimes be wielded against oppression.

The American “patsocs” are perverting a piece of theory that applies only to countries after a communist revolution. They are promoting a nationalism that is based on the worship of slave-owning genocidal white supremacists, worship of a constitution they should be fighting to destroy as self-described communists, a nationalism that is based on a system of worldwide imperialism. Their equating themselves to national liberation movements or attempts at proletarian internationalism is insulting.
