Integral Nationalism ed

Integral Nationalism rejects liberal or Risorgimento nationalism. Risorgimento nationalism pertains to a nation seeking to establish a state, such as Greece, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Serbia in the 17th century. In contrast, integral nationalism emerges after a nation has attained independence and established a state. Examples include Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. Key characteristics of integral nationalism include radical extremism, right-wing ideology, and aggressive-expansionist militarism. North Korea exhibits some of these characteristics. Integral states are totalitarian, with the government dominating all aspects of society. This form of nationalism is influenced by the "nationalisme integrale" of French nationalist Charles Maurras, who emphasized prioritizing one's country above all else. Integralism posits that society is an organic unit with a social hierarchy and cooperation among different social classes. Integral nationalism tends to arise in countries where a strong military ethos is ingrained during the struggle for independence, leading to a belief in the necessity of a robust military post-independence for ensuring state security and viability. The success of the liberation struggle can instill feelings of national superiority, fueling extreme nationalism. Integral nationalism defines the relationship between the individual and the state.
