That's not really true. In some places, 21st century Conservativism is Fabian Socialism, rather than Communism. The UK is the perfect encapsulation of this, and the Labour Party of Jeremy Corbyn is clearly Communist; not even Socialist. Their current leader is trying to push towards Fabiansim after a purge.
You're complaining about Civic Nationalism, which is an aspect of Liberalism, not Communism.
Civic Nationalism can't exist everywhere; and will typically only exist in Empires & Liberal states. However, places like Japan and Ireland are explicitly not Civic National states.
Liberalism is not ever meant to destroy nationhood. If anything, it serves as a mechanism to unify a nation against the oppression of a state. Liberal Nationalism also exists, and was very common in the 19th century. Nationalism itself stems from Liberal pre-suppositions about self-government.
Civic Nationalism does occur within Liberalism, but it is never a requirement.
Communism doesn't tolerate anything outside of Communism. It can, at best, use national identity as a human shield (like Stalin, Tito, and Ceausescu did)

Literally antithetical to one another, but okay.
