/lit/ - Literature

Does any notable thinker actually promote nationalism?

For me, it seems like one of the biggest spook that is growing, festering on the sheeples for populism and increasing the conformaty. When will man finally evolve into the self-actualized wonder we have the capacity to become?

Do we really need a nation? The nation is just a glorification of the state, a pride in something/someone other than yourself, which in my opinion is one of the biggest illusions one can have.

What does /lit/ think?
