Study of what constitutes each nation and the consequences that arise from it
What is new in the demonstration of Nationism is its theoretic construction, which makes it implacable.
In order to give this fundamental reflection on the new concept of “nationalism” its persuasive power, Henri Temple proposes a line of reasoning in the form of a theorem. Today, it is mistakenly believed that a theorem necessarily relates to mathematics; this is false: the theorem is a method of demonstration common to both logic and mathematics. A theorem is a statement, intended to be demonstrated, which can be established as true by means of and at the end of a logical process constructed from axioms. Once the theorem has been proven, it will be considered true. Furthermore, each of the axioms (see chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) underlying the proof of Nationism are all provable, which is exceptional for axioms and makes the proof even stronger and more rigorous.
Easily observable national facts form a cultural matrix that shapes human beings in terms of their feelings and psychology in general, and political psychosociology in particular. Everything else inevitably follows from this affect and consensus, from causes to consequences. It was so obvious that we had forgotten it
This theorem is constructed on the basis of the initial observation of the national fact, from which a first consequence derives, followed by a mechanical chain of consequential facts, each consequence immediately becoming the generating fact of a new consequence.
This can be verified according to the following sequence:
1 Observation and qualification of the national fact in its multiple dimensions
2 Individual psychological and neurological consequences of the national fact
3 Collective sociological consequences of psychological facts (identity)
4 Social consequences of sociological events
5 Socio-economic consequences of social functions
6 Legal consequences of socio-economic events
7 Political consequences of the conjunction of legal and socio-economic events
8 Conclusion: The Theorem of ‘Nationism’
Thus, from the initial observation of the national fact, a first consequence arises, followed by a mechanical chain of events, each consequence immediately generating a new consequence.
Each dimension of the national phenomenon is both the consequence of an “upstream” dimension and the cause of another “downstream” dimension.
The political dimension is the ultimate consequence; however, this dimension can also lead to other, reverse consequences: poor political organisation or management can undermine and compromise all the innate qualities and achievements that form the foundation of the nation.
Nationism has suffered above all from the fact that it has not been defended. Since the Declaration of Rights of 1789, although the idea of nationhood has often been invoked in official speeches, it has, with rare exceptions, not been developed or revived.
On the contrary, the enemies of the nation have criticised, attacked and worked to weaken the idea. Curiously enough, these combined attacks come both from the international or cosmopolitan upper middle class, which claims to be right-wing in order to mystify the electorate, and from the new left, which claims to be socio-liberal. And they also come from the anti-democratic and violent far left, and from the Greens.
Nationism denounces a number of scholarly absurdities with perverse effects. These include, in no particular order:
"the nation is a fiction... being against mass immigration means being racist or fascist... Europe (Brussels) is our only possible destiny... The euro and the EU will make us more prosperous and more powerful... We must repay the state's debt and interest and therefore reduce spending, including in the public service...‘
The key to a healthier democracy is a return to voter participation
and an end to the ’what's the point?"
