It is a fact that before the Greek uprising (1821) in the Balkans there were various nationalities spread around (Turks, Albanians, Greeks, Slavish), however the needs of the dominant bourgeoisie caused the creation of ‘pure’ nation-states. The national delirium of today is a descendant of the imposition of the so-called ‘Greek - Christian ideal.’"<br /><br />One of my interests is exploring the correlation between capitalism and nationalism, and how creating new states was essential to the survival of capitalism. It sickens me how the State brainwashes its citizens with these bullshit notions of how everyone is somehow "united" under a nationalist flag; it's like they would want us to believe slaves are all united under their master's iron fist.<br /><br />Solid(A)rity from Baltimore, "USA"Julia Riber Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006439247714055292noreply@blogger.com
