First it attempt to reject nationalism as an offspring of modernism and enlightment. By means of distinguishing between classic and modern nationalism, in order to incorporate patriotism the whole history of mankind. On the other hand, it denies nationalism as an ideological claim assorting it as a "theoretical-practical" thought which emerges finally dependent on varies orders of alternative in any distinctive paradigm. This type of organizing, besides other alternatives, has led to world wars, with Mussolini and Hitler as their leaders.
