Solipsism precludes the use of language, for example, which is an activity goverened by agreed upon rules.
Therefore language [very important to any Nationalist cause anyway] shows how solipsism, egoism, anomie, nihilism, anarchism etc., are doomed as philosophical positions [e.g., you have to use the rules of language to tell me you are against rules].
Language can therefore be a paradigm for this inter-connected out-look [Nietzsche, being a philologist was well placed to discover this insight]; it connects with concepts such as psychological archetypes, race-souls, cultures [memes?],various group-particular instincts and, yes, biological types also.
"All poetry deals more or less in the common form, this common coin, this circulating fluid of idea and image and phrase, and that it is the very ethos, nay, the very esence, of the poet to make the common as if it were not common".
[Austin Osman Spare, 'Ethos']
