french candidate Macron says nationalism is bad, but patriotism is good.

is there a difference between the two? I thought both are the same thing. Macron sez otherwise.

I think nationalism is the whole package including political and economical advancement on top of patriotism. Patriotism is a general love of country. Nationalists are more hard core maybe?
