Depends. Nationalism is progressive in liberating colonized countries from oppression, such as in Palestine. I don't support nationalism in the abstract, but sometimes in the particular if it plays a progressive role. I still support communist movements more, but nationalists can be allied with against colonialism, neocolonialism, and imperialism.
