It seems to me that nationalism is just an advanced form of something that has been going on forever within humanity. Whether it is love of your family, clan, tribe, community, city, state, nation, or anything of the sort, it seems to be ingrained within us. Any sort of advancement, to a "worldwide" form or something like that, would just be a further advanced form of the same thing.
