I don't feel like debating nationalism too much more, but I would like to nix the idea that liberation lies in the hands of 'working people'. People are people, and, given what passes for 'work', it should be kept to a minimum, not glorified by supposed liberators. I think in a better world people will spend their time living, loving, daydreaming, doing something creative... virtually all of which tend to be negated by 'work'. In fact, much more than nationalism, the idea of 'work' as being somehow connected to liberation is fairly specific to the capitalist world system (rooted in Adam Smith himself!), is one of its most malign products, and urgently needs to be 'unthought.'
