I would not make such a conclusion though Nazism have overlapping ideological ground with other forms of ethnonationalism. Nazism itself is rather "fluid" that some historians argue if Nazism itself is a concrete ideology or simply a manifestation of German politics by the Nazi party at the particular turning point in their history. Of course one can write volumes on that subject as well.
The point Im trying to make that whether in Tibet, Kosovo or Chechnya, a very large motivation for secessionist/separatist movement was due to ethnonationalism like sentiments regardless of the political nature, affluence/poverty of the host nation or whatever "moral or historical justification". This is often what common folks ignore or fail to realise. This is what "Free Tibet'' main advocates and supporters know but dont want to talk about it, or rephrase such sentiments in more political correct packages.
