Of course you wan't a government with the nations interest at heart. But I don't think the phrase is just a slur.

Governments that are described as nationalist have a tendency to find enemies within its own borders by claiming that a subset of the population aren't true nationals because they don't originate from the country or because they don't share some cultural norm.

Just as a hypothetical... Is it possible for a minority within a nation to be hostile to the majority? And if so, how do you propose to deal with the issue of having a fifth column within your borders?

Is it possible? Yes. But that doesn't make it a "fifth column". The country is not the majority, it's everyone. Maybe start dealing with it by looking at why the minority is hostile, and creating a country where they feel included rather than excluded.

You are shadowbanned. You might want to do something about that. (you can begin by increasing the quality of your posts. posting "You just posed a question no socialist can truthfully answer!" lowers the quality of the discussion)
