“Erdogan is not an a “national extremist”. He’s extremely patriotic, like most Turks. “
Yeah.. .that the line of some extreme Jewish and Palestinian nationalists. A patriot is principled and capable of criticizing extreme nationalists on their team. Capable of criticizing bad things their country have done. A blind nationalist is not.
“Kurds aren’t oppressed in any way like the Palestinians”
Not true according to the rest of the world. Erdogan constantly accuses any Kurd seeking a Kurdistan of being a “terrorist’. Turkey’s government has killed thousands of Kurds over the years. That should sound vaguely familiar..
“Even someone on the far-left is a nationalist. “
They may frame themselves as leftists but far left is ideologically incompatible with nationalism. It’s one reason why I am not a leftist albeit I support leftists on some issue. In Greece we have actual far left segment. Greek far left support open borders and couldn’t care less about Hellenism.
