Ultranationalism: Ultranationalism represents an extreme and often radical form of nationalism. It is characterized by an intense and fanatical devotion to one's nation, coupled with an aggressive and often militaristic stance towards perceived threats or rivals. Ultranationalists typically reject cultural diversity and advocate for strict homogeneity, often at the expense of minority rights. This ideology can manifest in xenophobia, extreme nationalism, and a disregard for international norms or cooperation. Ultranationalism can potentially lead to aggressive policies, conflicts, or acts of violence against other nations or minority groups within a country.

== Beliefs ==

Nationalism holds that the nation and state, or other sovereign polity, should be congruent and thus sovereign. It also holds that the nation is the only rightful source of political power.

=== Definition of the nation ===

A core component of any Nationalist movement is answering the question on how the nation should be defined. One of the most common national definitions, particularly in Europe and by [[File:Native.png]] [[Indigenism|indigenous peoples]], is '''Volkish Nationalism''', which usually combines ethnicity, culture, and linguistics; into what it sees as 'a people' or 'folk' (German: Volk) that is more or less synonymous with the term 'nation'.

Other variants of Nationalism also exist, these include, but are not limited to, defining the nation by exclusively [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnic Nationalism|ethnicity]], [[File:Cultural Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|culture]], [[File:Lingnat.png]] {{PCBA|Linguistic Nationalism|language}}, [[File:RelNat.png]] [[Religious Nationalism|religious affiliation]], or various definitions of the term [[File:Racenat.png]] [[Racial Nationalism|'race']].

Another definition of the nation, which has gained some momentum in the west lately, despite being discredited by the majority of other nationalists, is the idea that a nation can be defined through the state, and that the membership of the nation comes along with the membership of the state (citizenship). Since it is rooted in the state, this form of nationalism, called [[File:Civnat.png]] [[Civic Nationalism]], also requires affiliation with the state, and thus the recognition of its authority as well as the adoption of its values, which are usually [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|liberal]] in nature, hence the alternative name of 'Liberal Nationalism'.

=== Aspects of Nationalism ===

The primarily goals of any kind of nationalist ideology are as follows:

#The creation and maintenance of the nation-state; thus ensuring sovereignty and self-determination for the nation.<ref group="n">This means that the nation should be congruent with the state. It doesn't necessarily have to be a state, though in the vast majority of cases it is, other kinds of self-administering communities/polities can also be strived for.</ref>

#The definition of the nation — most important stepping stone in every nationalist movement.

#Welfare and happiness of the nation, that means also putting members of the nation first.<ref group="n">Caring for members of the nation, this is why some claim Nationalism to be inherently anti-capitalist.</ref>

Nationalists also vary on the issue of nationhood. Depending on the definition of the nation used by the nationalist and their philosophical outlook, the nation is either synonymous with the group (for instance in the case of [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnic Nationalism]], it would claim that ethnicity = nation), or the nationalist movement seeks to construct a nation through political and identity means (nation-building), viewing the group they would define the nation by simply as the prerequisite for a nation which would have to be built by political means of a nationalist movement in order to create a true collective sense of nationhood.

===[[File:RevNat.png]] Revolutionary Nationalism ===

The [[File:RevNat.png]] '''Revolutionary Nationalism''' is a [[File:Syncretic.png]] [[:Category:Syncretic|syncretic]] stream of [[File:Nation.png]] Nationalism that aims to achieve its goals through a [[File:Revolution.png]] revolution. It encompasses ideologies from both left and right perspectives, seeking a nationalist revolution or aiming to establish nationalist objectives through a revolution. [[File:RevNat.png]] '''Revolutionary Nationalism''' can be associated with left, right, or [[File:3P.png]] [[:Category:Third Position|Third Position]] ideologies.

[[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] '''Romantic Nationalism''' [[File:RomanticNat.png]] is a cultural and political movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, primarily in Europe. At its core, it emphasizes the connection between a nation's identity and its cultural heritage, often glorifying the nation's history, traditions, language, and folklore.

Rather than viewing a nation merely as a political entity, romantic nationalists sought to imbue it with a sense of spiritual and emotional significance, often rooted in myth, legend, and shared cultural experiences. They believed that the unique character of each nation was derived from its cultural distinctiveness and historical narrative.

Romantic nationalists often idealized the past, portraying it as a golden age of cultural purity and authenticity, which they contrasted with the perceived threats of modernity and globalization. They celebrated national heroes, folklore, and traditions, using these elements to foster a sense of unity and pride among the people.

Moreover, [[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] '''Romantic Nationalism''' [[File:RomanticNat.png]] frequently intersected with other cultural movements, such as the romantic literary movement, which emphasized individual emotion, imagination, and creativity. This connection often manifested in literature, music, and art, where artists and intellectuals sought to express and cultivate national identity through their works.

Politically, [[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] '''Romantic Nationalism''' [[File:RomanticNat.png]] played a significant role in the rise of nation-states and independence movements across Europe during the 19th century. It provided a powerful ideological framework for those seeking self-determination and autonomy from colonial powers or multinational empires.

'''American Nationalism''' is a form of civic, ethnic, cultural or economic influences found in the United States Essentially, it indicates the aspects that characterize and distinguish the United States as an autonomous political community. The term often serves to explain efforts to reinforce its national identity and self-determination within their national and international affairs. It's variants include cultural nationalism and that the American identity is an integral element of American society, civic nationalism, which is built off of freedom and individual rights, and trumpism, which is based off of the former president Donald J. Trump.

===[[File:NeoNationalism.png]] Neo-Nationalism===

'''Neo-Nationalism''' or '''New Nationalism''', is an ideology and political movement built on the basic characteristics of [[File:Classnat.png]] Classical Nationalism. It developed to its final form by applying elements with [[File:React.png]] [[Reactionaryism|reactionary]] character generated as a reaction to the political, economic and socio-cultural changes that came with [[File:World.png]] [[Globalism|globalization]] during the second wave of globalization in the 1980s. Neo-Nationalism had rose up in the mid-2010s, especially, but not exclusively, in Western Europe and the United States. It supports [[File:Anti-Globalism.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Globalism|anti-globalization}}, [[File:Rpop.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism]], [[File:Nativism.png]] [[w:Nativism|nativism]], [[File:Antimultcult.png]] opposition to [[Multiculturalism|immigration]], [[File:Protect.png]] [[Protectionism|protectionism]] and [[File:Euroscept.png]] [[Separatism|euroscepticism]] (in Europe). With globalisation and the idea of a single nation, neo-nationalists see the problems of identification and threatened identities. They call for the protection of symbolic heritage, like art and folk traditions, which is also common for [[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism]]. Particularly notable expressions of new nationalism include the UK referendum to leave the European Union and the election of [[File:Trumpism.png]] Donald Trump as President of the United States. However, contrary to popular belief that Neo-Nationalists were capitalists and anti-communists in general, there are several proponents of Neo-Nationalists who are under [[File:LeftNatcon.png]] Communist or Socialist quadrants, such as [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] [[Dengism|Xi Jinping]] from [[File:Cball-China.png]] China, [[File:KimJongUn.png]] [[Juche|Kim Jong-un]] from [[File:Cball-North Korea.png]] North Korea and the [[File:Hochi.png]] [[Ho Chi Minh Thought|Vietnamese Communist Party]].
