Warning: Nationalism is often stigmatized and misunderstood, especially when it comes to minority nationalism. Some people misguidedly associate all types of nationalism to national-socialism, tribalism, and racism. On the contrary, the origins of modern nationalism in the 18th century point us to the ideals of equality of men through citizenship, democratic government for all peoples, and peaceful relations among free States. In the context of a colonization by a foreign power, the nationalism of a conquered people can be and has often been a progressive liberation movement. In the context of a territorial expansion or consolidation, the nationalism of a strong people is generally akin to imperialism.

We see a very clear distinction between nationalism, today a universal phenomenon, and the exploitation of a people's patriotic sentiment by political rulers who wish to keep themselves in power or gain more of it.
