Nationalism is a movement that advocates for the unity of a nation. It began in the 18th and 19th centuries during the transition from feudalism to capitalism.[1] It is usually more widespread among the peasantry than the proletariat.[2] Nationalism for oppressed or colonized nations may be progressive and anti-imperialist, but other forms of nationalism may be reactionary and class collaborationist. Patriotic socialism is a form of reactionary nationalism for nations in the imperial core.
