Ask the Jews how great nationalism was for them in WW2.
Because modern American nationalism is totally the same thing as 1930's German nationalism

Did you even bother to watch the RNC? They basically did nothing but spread fear about the Muslims.
Nationalism is one of the many forms of compartmentalization. It's putting people into predefined political boxes, so to keep them separated and distant from each other.

Norway
Sweden
Finland
Netherlands
Canada
Belgium
China
.. and others, put the lie to the basic contention here. All are mixed economies heavily tilted toward socialism and other "leftist" economic ideas.
These are among the largest and richest economies in the world.

The United States is a mixed economy. Without considerable government intervention in business, Federal establishment of our country's infrastructure, etc. and other such generally "leftist" ideas, we would never have become the world's largest economy.
All of the bluster about nationalism versus globalism are statements of belief, not facts.
Norway has private dental care (Tanngarden) who can do same day bookinhs but public health service. But Helfo decide your doctor and clinic for you. That gets annoying when your doctor is right next to your home but you are only free during work lunchtimes and there is a medical practice right next door downtown. Canada was the same as Norway.
In the UK you can choose your doctor with the NHS but have to wait two weeks for an appointment. Sweden might be the same. Sweden avoided recessions by going for continued employment with workers but on reduced hours with job sharing and subsidized housing.
