> but you can hardly say the nation understood in this sense is hostile

I don’t see how you can make this claim so strongly.

The government is not independent of the people even if it is authoritarian.

Any hostility enacted by the government will necessarily involve the people. Governments need people in order to do anything.

A government without people can speak hostile words, but can’t be hostile, because by definition it can’t do anything if it isn’t governing anyone.

What you say is of course true of democracy, but has nothing to do with totalitarian systems and dictatorships.

I can’t see any way what I said doesn’t apply equally to totalitarian systems and dictatorships.

You will need to explain.
