Default Re: Pan-Slavism Versus Pan-Germanism

Banat, I thought so. I've seen one member of Stirpes profiled both as Serb and as Catholic.

Anyway, what's calling my attention of pan-nationalisms is that I am somehow strange to them, since I don't belong to the Germanic or the Slavic groups. I still have to see one well defined and well structured system for either pan-Germanism or pan-Slavism, and loose as they are they seem to me more of a potential problem than anything else.

Here there is another interesting article that I've found on pan-nationalisms: European Tribal Nationalism.

As I go disectioning these pan-nationalisms, they look to me more like small globalisms which are likely to pose a problem both for national identities and for any chances for Europe to have a future.

Anyway, the good thing about it is that those of us who belong to the Western fringe of Europe don't have to feel allegiance to the Slavic or the Germanic group. You could say that to us they are both Eastern.. at least east of us. So we are free to choose sides, or to stay away from it.
