What you're saying, makes no sense. You assume nationalism can only be expressed in good ways. That's a massive fallacy. Not to mention you seem to think nationalism and socialism can't be combined. Well they can. Just like most ideologies.
China is a communist country. They're also nationalistic, they run labor camps, and they commit genocide. They're still nationalists.
All nationalists do not think the way you do. Nationalism does not mean "do what's good for our country by only doing good things and not hurting anyone".
The nazis believed Germany was superior, the German race was superior. Jews were not considered German. There is nothing to support what you're saying other than your opinion which itself seems to be based on very little understanding of ideology. Just because you want a word to mean only what you say it means, doesn't make it so.
"Nationalists are patriotic" Patriotism and Nationalism can take different forms and manifest in different ways. Not all of them are good. You love your country, you fight for it with your life, you're a patriot. What you're fighting for could still be terrible.
Being a nationalist isn't inherently bad on its own. It can be something great. It can also get extremely ugly. Just like most things. What you're doing is revisionism. You should learn about the subject you want to debate before throwing yourself into it.
