Nationalism isn’t fascism

American leftists are apparently not the only experts in the perversion of language for political ends. Al Jazeera recently posted an article titled “Why 60,000 people joined a nationalist march in Poland.” Posted under “news” in the “far right” category – which in and of itself presumes bias – the article attempts to equate concepts like nationalism and border protection with fascism. It further tries to discredit the marchers’ message because they cheered God. The entire article was a study in the masterful use of propaganda to undermine the marchers’ strong message of independence and defiance. But the marchers mostly got it right.
