Nationalism is a key component of any liberation struggle, Ho Chi Minh himself said that it was nationalism what made him interested in communism and used the pseudonym "Nguyen the patriot" when he lived in France.

Nationalism is not mutually exclusive from internationalism, in fact in the character of a national liberation struggle, nationalism is internationalism because it promotes the view that the people of any determinate place are capable of running their nation in contrast with the nationalism of the imperial core which promotes the view that these are inferior beings uncapable of doing so.

The problem is that the nationalism of the oppressed can very easily morph into the nationalism of the oppressors. Look at Poland, where pre-1918 nationalism was liberatory and post-1918 it seamlessly switched to oppressing ethnic minorities.
