<p class="MsoNormal">Very interesting; but the more the word nationalism gets used from various persuasions, whether positively or pejoratively, the less it seems to mean in a consistent way; but nationalism has always been a kind of fiction, as Eric Hobsbawm
and others taught us; as well as a political football, perhaps relevant as the World Cup approaches and we see that national identity is a given in the most crass and chauvinistic terms.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">Steve Bannon is absolutely bonkers with what’s goin’ on in Italy. La Repubblica calls him “the Dark Knight of global populism”. He talked to the paper (portal). Here’s the low down.
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">For Bannon, “Rome is now at the center of world politics” (correct). He has “advised” La Lega’s Salvini, and said they paid due attention.
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">He’s enthusiastic that Lega and 5S “hit the heart of the European beast” (correct), foreign capitals and “foreign opposition media” (FT, Le Monde, etc.). He considers Salvini and Di Maio “heroic” – and
the other hero is Berlusconi (not really). On 5S, he says they are “similar to socialist Sanders in the US”, anti-establishment and for transparency. And are allies to Italy’s “Trump” – referring to Salvini.
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">He’s sure “Brussels, the stock market and the financial powers will go through hell” (correct).
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">For Bannon, Italy is “a sleeping giant, with a huge economy” (correct). Brussels and media like the FT are “afraid of Italy” (true – the FT even invoked “barbarians”).
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">He expects a “confederation of free states” to emerge in place of the current EU (not so fast). “The fascists are in Brussels” (relatively correct). And “we are on the right side of history; Merkel and
Macron will fall” (not so fast). </span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">Trump is “back to his national-populist agenda” and “things could not be better for the US” (incorrect). Especially now that “the military have been sidelined from the administration” (but not the deep
state – on the contrary). He thinks Pompeo could become President one day (Lord have mercy).
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">Bannon thinks the Judeo-Christian West must be united – thus no Russia demonization. He stresses Russia’s economy is smaller than Italy’s (correct). “The problem is Russia is hated by the Democrats because
is a nationalist country and they have the Orthodox Church (fundamentally correct). “The real problem is Iran” (ridiculous).
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="xm4249881446958832610fbphotosphotocaption">Well, as you can see the man IS on a roll.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
