To paraphrase Dugin, nationalism is a small-scale attempt at globalism. It achieves a globalist vision of the world in one nation through universal suffrage, destruction of traditional estate/caste systems, and promotion of liberal values. Nationalism as an idea was not truly around until the Great Revolution, and it shows: the liberal rebels were called the Nationals (or some form thereof) because they defended the "French" people and introduced standardized vocal and grammar to essentially melt different regional cultures into a very chimeran monolith of the Republic.
