Anarchism and nationalism

Anarchism and nationalism are two different kinds of beliefs. Anarchism is the belief that no one should be in charge and governments should be abolished. It teaches that people should live together peacefully without a government to tell them what to do or control their lives. Nationalism is the belief that people who share the same language, religion, or culture should have their own country and be independent from other countries. Nationalists believe in having their own government to protect the interests of their group. Nationalism is sometimes seen as helping people feel a stronger connection to their community, while anarchism is seen as encouraging self-reliance and kindness to everyone.
