Dependency by Way of Rejection

Abstract

Let us not speak ill of Nationalism. Without the nationalist virulence, a technical, rational, uniform imperium would rule over Europe and the world... Nationalism was the final tension of the individual in the face of the gray death, which awaited his own.

And yet:

The rise of nationalism in every nation points to the fact that its originality is about to expire.
