Yoram Hazony pretending nationalism here doesn’t mean white nationalism.

Park MacDougald:

“…Hazony argues that Nazism, because it ignored national boundaries in pursuit of German hegemony in Europe, was actually a form imperial universalism rather than nationalism. But Nazi Germany was, in his terms, both imperialist and nationalist: its leaders attempted to abolish some nation-states, but they did so believing not that the Jews and Slavs would benefit from German rule but that the particular interests of the German nation required the Jews and Slavs to be physically destroyed.

The Nazi example indicates a deeper problem with the entire binary, which is that nationalism, as it has existed in history, is not a “principled standpoint that regards the world as governed best when nations are able to chart their own independent course”; it is something more like a political language, one that takes the nation as the source of legitimacy and the furtherance of its interests as the goal of politics.”
