You know how socialists don't get capitalism?Well, nationalists don't get diplomacy.The socialist thinks their state is all-powerful domestically, and the nationalist thinks their state is all-powerful globally, so it can seize whatever it wants by force, because it's so strong, and nothing will ever happen, and no one can resist.Both worldviews are wrong, for similar reasons.The socialist hates capitalists so much, and the nationalist hates foreigners so much, that they often just become blinded by hatred. ...
