I take it that you were talking about patriotism and nationalism; the words are similar, describing love of one's country. However, patriotism simply means love of one's country; someone who is patriotic is a patriot and this is the context in which the word is most often used. On the other hand nationalism has other meanings; it is often used to describe social movements which idealise the 'nation-state'. In established nation-states such as the UK and PRC nationalism is also used to describe love of one's country - at the expense of other nations, which are perceived as inferior in comparison to one's own. Politically, patriotism can be expressed by all, but nationalism is expressed by right-wing elements. All political parties can be patriotic, but some are nationalists because they pursue a more aggressive and self-promoting foreign policy.
