They hate that black man in their White House as well. 
What are they going to do when all of the oldies in their base die off? Hahahaha!!!!
The Russian Communists were also nationalists.
One of Lenin's first things he had to do was try to re-establish the borders of the imperium. That meant invading Poland to keep Polish lands, for instance. Pissed them off to no ends that they lost the Baltics. They managed to finagle to restore some of the Caucasian bits of the empire.
"Self-determination" wasn't a Russian Communist slogan.
And when Stalin got a chance, he grabbed a slice of Poland to punish the Germans as WWII "reparations" and regained the western parts of Ukraine, as well.
The Communists still are nationlists. They're among the most active in the Donbas, which has two parents--nationalism ("we're Russian, and if we can't rule we want to be with fellow Russians"
and communists ("we resent the destruction of statues to Lenin and exult in the triumph of the Russian Soviet Republic", which is how the USSR has been reimagined--the "Red Army" was the "Russian Army", and, to be honest, was always considered to be such).
It's the rhetoric that was at odds with reality. And still is. Only the "National Bolsheviks," a minority party, has the balls to reconcile their inner conflict.
