>>408111Left-wing nationalism/patriotism doesn't make any sense in the United States. Left-wing nationalism is the nationalism of the oppressed, while right-wing nationalism is the nationalism of the oppressors. To understand why left-wing American nationalism is impossible, let us first examine who precisely the "American nation" is. Here's some possible definitions:
-The government of the United States of America
-The people who live under the government of the United States of America
-The more privileged people (white, middle/upper class, native born, Anglophone, Christian, cishet, male, etc.) who live under the government of the United States of America
American nationalism pretty much always revolves around defending one or more of those above groups, whether it be against outgroups abroad or outgroups at home. These outgroups are almost always of lower social status, domestically and/or internationally, than the ingroup. Thus, American nationalism is pretty much always about a privileged status.
You may now ask, aren't they people in the United States who can be described as oppressed? Can't they practice left-wing nationalism. To answer the first question, yes, there are people in the United States who can be described as oppressed. However, this oppression almost always comes at the hands of other Americans, whether it be American police, American companies, American schools, American landlords, or other American institutions. They are not subordinated to other countries or to international institutions like the UN, NATO, WTO, World Bank, etc., as those countries and international institutions are by-and-large subordinated to the American state and American corporations.
As for the second question, there are some forms of left-wing nationalism that can be practiced in the United States. However, it isn't "American" nationalism, but rather nationalism specific to certain oppressed groups, like Blacks, Native Americans, and Hispanics.
Overall, there is no such thing as left-wing American nationalism.
