This is also known as the Andersonian view of nationalism. The title of this article demands an elaboration because it expects to be able to dismantle the nations constructed via Andersonian nationalism. This article, however, proposes that through the same widely-understood sense as Anderson’s definition of a nation, destroying or breaking apart a nation requires the destruction of the social interactions, symbols, and the very imagination of its people.
