On Lenin and Wilhelm

Once upon a time I offered a dual nature of nationalism:  state-interested and people-concerned.  Both Lenin and WIlhelm share these zests.  They make similar economic arguments about the merits of imperial power.  Lenin is of course entirely people-concerned (admittedly in a non-sectional way), while Wilhelm is people-concerned to the extent that his interests collide with those of the people.  While Wilhelm is definitely nationalist and Lenin is definitely unattached, imperialism is definitely a nationalistic phenomenon.
