"Nationalism, for Orwell, is the "habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty that that of advancing its interests." He distinguishes nationalism in this sense from patriotism. Patriotism involves devotion to a place and way of life, but in Orwell's view it lacks the "wish to force others to adopt this."

Well.
