This article is original research and does not provide any source that "left-wing nationalism" is a known term with any specific definition. I posted my suggestion for deletion on the discussion page and on the article creator's talk page, but have received no reply. The Four Deuces ( talk) 16:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC) reply
As a systematic political force, nationalism began with the left in the French Revolution. The revolutionaries used nationalist themes to rally the French people to the cause of the Revolution. As with so many other things in the modern world, however, something that started with the left eventually found its way to the right. Today, nationalism is overwhelmingly identified with right-wing movements and ideologies, partly because the left often sees it as corrosive and disruptive. However, I would not go so far as to argue that nationalism is the bailiwick of the right. Leftists still make use of it sporadically. UberCryxic ( talk) 00:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC) reply
