#Anarchism and #nationalism have always had a troubled relationship.

For a long time anarchists have focussed on the concept of class struggle as thé emancipationary ideal of the global opressed. Nationalism was something that only divided the working class and would lead to reactionary domination.

However, the history between the two is far more complicated than that. Many anarchists deride the classreductionist idea of anti-nationalism, viewing nationalism as an integral part of anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist struggle.

In this essay, Roger White rejects white universalism and talks about the revolutionary potential of national liberation.
