I believe that Nationalism is compatible with Socialism (as proven by the regimes of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy) as Socialism is merely an economic theory and does not necessarily have to be strongly alligned with left leaning thought in regards to how a society should think or how a government should act. It merely preaches for the idea that the state should possess control by nationalising certain industrial areas.

I don't think Communism is compatible with Nationalism (at least in the traditional sense) as Communism by it's very nature is anti-Tradition and (for the most part) National Identity. Communism is under the pretext that "regardless of your faith, national identity or gender, we are all workers and thus, we must all unite to overthrough Capitalism and promote equality". This is in direct contrast of Traditional Nationalism which seeks to maintain these values in hopes maintaining the aspect of their beloved country.

An example of this would probably be the Greek Civil War as the Greek Communists of that time aligned themselves with Macedonian Slavs, Cham Albanians and Pomacks whilst the Greek Monarchists (or Nationalists) were mainly made up of Greeks who were stauncly Anti-Communist (with many of them possessing Nationalist ways of thought).
