Trump: "I'm a nationalist."

Well it depends.

France was, by the standards of the early 20th century, a multiethnic republic absorbed with nationalism. Black and White Frenchmen died by the millions for France in World War I, often beside each other. The French Army was the only fighting force of the First World War that wasn’t heavily segregated. Black French often fought alongside white Frenchmen. Nationalism and a love for France ran deep for everyone involved.

Doesn’t matter where our backgrounds come from. As long as we live in America we all should have one common goal.

Agreed.

There are certain areas where the Chinese must be confronted.

Trump didn’t say that. Why not? Or do you think that’s what he meant?

Different regions have different priorities.

What is important to southerners differs from people of the West.

Under civil nationalism…yes.

Most people don’t know…trump included. Also as you can see most forum members didn’t know either despite the fact that I’ve talked about it over the years.

I certainly don’t. That’d be stupid.

We’re so far from people controlling us it’s crazy. We do try to be decent humans at times though.

A pattern I see with liberals is constantly apologizing for America. There is nothing wrong with America’s interests first. It is how I want my government to rule. That should be common sense if you live here in America.

Should we stop the Caravan from crossing?.. Legally they should take refuge in Mexico, so they are not entitled to anything here.

Yes. But look where our common goals were after pearl harbor or 9/11. Ashame it took tragedies such as those to make us all realize there are some common factors we all agree on.
My opinion all marriages have that argument that a husband and wife may have but overall the general welfare of their family is key. Not much should be different translating that to our country.

Can we have nationalism with the Islamists who live here?

But here is something that I kind of disagree with trump. He seems to me to be going more isolationist. I would like to hear from you guys do you find that a problem or not?

Just because they didnt govern by the system within thier name doesnt change what I said one bit.

Socialism and communism are not one and the same, your attempts to make them such notwithstanding.

Both are Marxism, govt redistribution with control of industry and individuals.

So you think that is what Trump meant? If so, how do you know?

Marx-IST. Get it right if you are gonna try to correct me.

Marxism is very specific in its goals. Having some of those tendencies does not, however, make something else actual Marxism.

Marxism, communism and socislism may all be a similar variety of tree, akin to a Hunagarian and an Austrian Pine or s Blue and a Mountain Spruce.

Doesnt make them the same tree, no matter how hard you try to make it so.

Nope, not with anything other than the race and religion who runs this country…

Because he said the nation state is the best way to bring freedom and prosperity to people. I would add they need a constitution like ours…

It’s not just liberals… it’s Trump too.
