Romantic or not, it is connected to liberalism. It emerged from liberal movement as liberals were essentially nationalistic. They found commonness in same history, religion, language etc. So, if it is romantic nationalism then we are talking about romantic liberalism as well.
Neoliberalism as is known today is cosmopolitan in one sense, it globalized financial structures.
I am very well aware about existence of ethnic nationalism and at the same time non-existence of civic one, but that doesn't means that nationalist with ethnic background and/or belief in primordial characteristics of his nation, can't be a socialdemocrat or communist.
