Why can't nationalism and socialism mix?

In short, they can mix, but it's a bad combination.

Egalitarianism , once nationalism gets into the mix it isn't socialism is it .

Socialism as an economic theory can coexist quite peacefully with nationalism. There's no reason why they can't coexist - but, like I said, I wouldn't want to live where they did.

Your first link disproves your point , if Zanu was socialist and nationalist then it wouldn't have policies favouring tribal , political or race groups would it as all people of Zimbabwe would be equal before the law.
