Patriots and patriotism are seen as positive forces involving pride in culture or country.. Geoge Orwell (Writer of 1948) defined patriotism as "By 'patriotism' I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force upon other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality."

The key point is that the concept of patriotism does not imply "I will believe in and fight for our way, right or wrong, until it comes out on top.". This comes from the bleeding of nationalism into the concept of patriotism.


Politicians are adept at increasing the nationalism content of patriotism until it no longer meets the proper definition.
