Answer:

Different ideological orientations and forms of nationalism exist. It comes from both the left and the right, and it has historically been associated with a variety of social movements. It was associated with right-wing, even fascist tendencies in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. However, in developing countries, it has allied with left-wing communist movements as well as anti-imperialist and anti-colonial movements. Nationalism isn't a political color in and of itself.It's critical to reclaim some of the advantages of national identification. National identities can foster a sense of community and motivate people to work together for a common good. Governments with a strong sense of national identity can more easily redistribute resources and build welfare states. These countries' citizens are less averse to paying taxes.
