In all fairness it's only an assumption of those who confused Nationalism with Patriotism.

Patriotism (what can I do for my country) fits naturally with Leftwing principles (such as "The greatest good for the greatest number") whilst Nationalism (what can I get from being born were I was born) fits naturally with Rightwing principles (such as "What's in it for me?")
