At the Gates of Vienna site Fjordman had come up with another fine post entitled The Roots of non-Discrimation, Liberalism or Maxism? which has generated a lot of good comments.
For example, a commenter by the name of Simon de Montford made the important point that while the Nazis are often cited as the ultimate example of the evils of nationalism, they were not really true nationalists.
"Fjordman mentioned, as others have, the hysteria against nationalism in Europe after WWII, but the irony is that the Nazis were supra-nationalists who thought in terms race, not nationality: they dragooned all sorts of 'Nordics' into the Waffen-SS and created their crackpot myth of a northern European Master Race that had virutally nothing to do with the borders of Germany or a German nation. The Nazis were anti-Communist lunatic totalitiarians--not nationalists and not really socialists.
"They wanted to destroy the whole concept of nationhood and replace it with an empire dominated by 'Nordics'. Somehow their anti-nationalist efforts ended up as the driving force for the anti-nationalism of the last 60 years."
Take out the Nazis, and the likes of Franco and Mussolini look relatively tame.
In contrast, communism dictators like Stalin and Pol Pot have gotten off far too lightly in liberal assessments of 20th Century history post WWI.

Well said but dont you think that these days every other color and creed other than the "white man" is afforded every doubt and forfiture in the book and by doing these things we inhibit our "white kids" from excelling as we know they do.We are not a ruling race for no reason. When will the world get over mothering countries that do nothing but degenerate the society that the "white Men" built?
