Nationalism - group of people living and two generations after
Don't
Racism - a name, symbol, ideal, group of people more than three generations after
Do - in a game
Enjoy the skill, gamesmanship, arrogance, artistry
Don't - in a game
Take sides on country, club, state, city, race - though in a game it matters little than in a war.
Patriotism, nationalism, racism are all different words for the same meaning. People find nationalism good because it brings people together. Racism bad because it separate people. While nationalism and patriotism is necessary for the will bring of a society racism is a illness that needs to eradicate from the society.
Dictatorship is not good but at times may be necessary. But it is really bad when he is corrupt, promote racism, tinker the law to safeguard closely connected individuals, no good governance etc.
Unlike Locke, who states that rights of subjects come before the state, Hegelian philosophy states that, state and not it's subjects are supreme. These two philosophies enlighten us the age old problem, state or the subjects comes first. Racism verses nationalism is a deviation of the same problem.
