Actual leftists despite nationalism because it competes with class interesting. A dedicated leftist will tell you that nationalism should be opposed because it exists to divide the working class amongst itself, rather than letting the working class unify to oppose the hostile interests of the employer class.
Leftists are not "identitiarian." From the left's point of view, there is no difference between assimilationary nationalism and pluralistic nationalism; both stand in the way of class consciousness.

I struggle to see how non-ethnonationalist nationalism agrees with the hypothesis that leftists oppose civic nationalism and support identitarianism. If anything, this supports my point even further.
That being said, left-wing nationalism is yucky and not really a big part of the leftist sphere.
