Nationalism strikes the poorest, it strikes the workers the most. The irony is that the ones who are most affected by it are the ones who support it the most. They are the first to vote for parties that place such programs during the elections. We have seen this many times throughout history, all over the world, not just here. But we could see in the last elections in our country, because, in my opinion, the biggest winner is nationalism.
There is a saying we often use, and that is: If people do not have bread to eat, give them nationalism. And this is due to the fact that the parties promised people who do not have bread to eat, exactly that, bread, higher rights, higher salaries, higher social assistance and so on. Now those parties have disappeared, that is, they either did not fulfill the promises or forgot them, so in such a situation the right-wingers who make promises through nationalist slogans prospered. People consciously choose to lie and poison themselves with nationalism, maybe even consciously, but they do it because they have no bread and no one offers it to them
Branimir Jovanovikj
Кога луѓето немаат леб да јадат, бираат национализам (When people have no bread to eat, they choose nationalism)
