Nationalism
THIS HOUSE SUPPORTS NATIONALISM
Prime Minister: Hello ladies and gentlemen. It is an absolute pleasure to speak for Monash University for opening government for the fifth consecutive world’s grand finals and we are particularly excited of this moment because this is a topic that we entirely believe. At the nation’s state, ladies and gentlemen, is an artificial concept but is a beneficial concept and Monash will prove two key things to you. First, that the nationalism and the nation’s state have more benefits that harms and, secondly, we’ll show you that nationalism is superior to alternative conceptions of collective identity such as class, such as religion, such as sexuality if it does exist. It’s also superior to local collective identity, ladies and gentlemen. Those are the key premises that we’re gonna be advancing at opening government. We’re not gonna be comparing nationalism in this debate to a cosmopolitcan eutopia it simply doesn’y exist. What we’re gonna do is look at nationalism that exists now and compare it at other forms of identity as they exist now. I’ll have three key arguments as prime minister. First, I’ll explain to you why nationalism is a unifying framework. Secondly, I’ll show you how nationalism promotes essential sacrifice crucial to the state. And thirdly, I’ll look at nationalism as the most inclusive framework of collective identity that exists. So firstly, why nationalism is a critical unifying framework. So what exactly do we mean by nationalism. Nationalism, essentially, is based on a belief in the strength and the power of the nation’s state. It is premised on leveling on its specific commonality even though you have a range of other diffirences between and the state. It is based on the collective endeavor of a country. Their economy, their healthcare system, their system. It is based on sharing joy to the future which is ultimately based on cooperation, and if not cooperation, at least toleration of the members of the state, ladies
