Is Nationalism Good or Bad?

the AZEL PERSPECTIVE Commentary on Cuba's Future, U.S. Foreign Policy & Individual Freedoms - Issue 255

Is Nationalism Good or Bad? Share Tweet Forward

I am reluctant to discuss nationalism in a short newspaper column. Nationalism is complex, misunderstood, and often abused. Yet, I will give it a try in my allotted 680 words. Let’s begin by clarifying that nationalism is not synonymous with patriotism. Nationalism and patriotism are often found together, but they are not the same.  Just as importantly, we should not equate the nation, or the state with each other or with the government. Being a patriot does not imply one must offer unwavering support for all government policies as implied by the phrase, “My country, right or wrong.” That phrase, by the way, is attributed to United States naval officer and commodore Stephen Decatur Jr (1779-1820). This young patriot, and hero of the Barbary Wars, and the War of 1812, played a significant role establishing the identity of the United States.  Regarding the phrase, the English polymath G. K. Chesterton noted:  “My country, right or wrong is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case.” His meaning was that we should not be indifferent to the policies undertaken by our nation. As good citizens, we should seek to change what is wrong in our country. In unadorned terms, patriotism is defined as love or devotion to one’s country. Similarly,  nationalism also reflects loyalty and devotion to a nation but, and this is a critical difference, nationalism also seeks to build and maintain a single national identity. Nationalism seeks to foster a single national identity on shared social characteristic such as culture, language, religion, politics or history.  This makes nationalism exclusionary and disenfranchising of  those who do not share such characteristics. The definition of nationalism includes “exalting one nation above all others…” Unchecked, nationalism can easily turn into Fascism or Nazism as happened in Italy and Germany.  As Charles De Gaulle defined it, “A patriot loves his country, a nationalist hates everyone else’s.” Historians trace the origins of modern nationalism to the political upheaval of the 18th century associated with the American and French revolutions. In the 19th century, nationalism became one of the most influential political and social forces in history. Historians have also identified several types of nationalism, three of which, civic, ethnic, and economic nationalism I will introduce here for clarity. Civic nationalism defines the nation as being made up of people who have equal and shared political rights, and creates a political identity centered on political rights. Civic nationalism was  inspirational for the development of representative democracies in multiethnic countries such as the United States. In contrast, ethnic nationalism is a form of nationalism where the nation is defined in terms of ethnicity. The central theme of ethnic nationalism is that the nation is defined by a shared heritage of characteristics such as a common language, a common faith or a common ancestry. Economic nationalism is an ideology that favors state interventionism in the economy, with policies that emphasize domestic control of the economy. My Latin American readers are very familiar with this form of nationalism.   In my Cuban tribe, nationalism began with the Wars for Independence, and was patently present in the early days of the Republic. The Cuban Revolutionary Party -commonly called El Partido Auténtico- had its origins in the nationalist Revolution of 1933 and had as its slogan, Cuba para los Cubanos (Cuba for Cubans). Auténticos  argued that the economy needed to be managed by tripartite commissions made up of labor leaders, government bureaucrats and businessmen. In 1933, a provisional government headed by Auténtico leader Ramón Grau San Martin enabled a law requiring that no less than fifty percent of all the employees of national or foreign firms had to be Cuban.   Cuba’s famed 1940 Constitution was heavily influenced by the Auténticos nationalist ideas. Cuban nationalism carried into exile, and in the early 1960s was represented by a movement called Nacionalismo Realista (Realistic Nationalism) headed by Rafael Luis Serralta Nogues. Nationalism may mean different things to different people, but to be an American has always meant to identify with a set of ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the  Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Si estuviera en mis manos, esta obra sería lectura obligatoria de todos los estudiantes, tanto de bachillerato como universitarios, pero, además, se la recomendaría a todos los políticos y periodistas, a todos los policy makers.

Free Cuba Now!

To promote a peaceful transition to a Cuba that respects human rights and political and economic freedoms   Vigil for Cuban martyrs. Cuban Dissident leaders slated for trial on May 29-30, activists say. The Washington Post on the importance of global solidarity Photo by Michelle Sague (OCB) A vigil was held in front of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C on May 25, 2022, from 5:00pm - 7:00pm to mark 50 years since student leader Pedro Luis Boitel Abraham died on hunger strike at the El Príncipe Prison in Havana where he was tortured. The individuals responsible for his death remain in power in Cuba, or have died after decades in power. Journalist Michelle Sague of Marti Noticias reported on this story, and took the above photo. This vigil also highlighted the cases of other Cuban martyrs: Carmelo Cuadra Hernández, died in La Cabaña prison in April 1969 on hunger strike, after being tortured over eight and a half months. Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales shot down in 1996 by Cuban MiGs. Prisoner of conscience Orlando Zapata Tamayo who died on hunger strike in 2010. Cuban dissident Juan Wilfredo Soto Garcia was beaten to death by Cuban police in 2011. Ladies in White leader Laura Pollán died in 2011 under suspicious circumstances while hospitalized, and surrounded by Cuban state security. Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas and Harold Cepero Escalante were killed by state security in 2012. This is the tip of a large iceberg. Vigil participants also called for the freedom of all Cuban political prisoners, and the image of Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara, and others were included to represent current prisoners of conscience. He has been in prison since July 11, 2021, and will be put on trial on May 30, 2022, according to Reuters. This vigil outside the Cuban Embassy in Washington D.C. was an act of solidarity. It was a call for truth, memory, and justice or in one word accountability. The Washington Post in their May 23, 2022 editorial "To free Cuba, global solidarity is more important than U.S. policy" said that "the most important thing those outside the island can do for its people is to maintain unwavering, vocal solidarity with them — and moral clarity about the true source of their poverty and oppression."       Read Full Article         Center for a Free Cuba 417 West Broad Street, Suite 204 Falls Church, VA 22046 www.cubacenter.org Preferences  |  Unsubscribe

“Bits of Cuban History” is a new series of weekly publications highlighting historical events and information from Cuba’s colonial and national periods.   We hope you enjoy this new publication.   Following is the 20th in this new series.     BITS OF CUBAN HISTORY Anarchism   Strong in Spain in the 1870s, anarchism reached Cuba through immigration and literature in the 1880s, and its successful appeal to Cuban workers threatened the non-political trade union movement organized by the Partido Reformista. By the 1890s, however, it had been largely suppressed by the authorities, its leaders imprisoned or deported to Spain. After the 1917 Russian Revolution, Cuban anarchists tried to organize into an efficient political force, and although anarcho-syndicalists dominated the Confederación Nacional Obrera Cubana, they were rivaled by the Communists whose agrupaciones became popular and coopted their members. President Machado opposed anarchism, communism, and socialism, curtailing political activities by all of them. From then on, the anarchists ceased to play any influential political role.
