Marx, Engels and National Movements (RLE Marxism)

More about the book

The book explores Marx and Engels' perspectives on national movements and their impact on socialism, emphasizing their belief that national aspirations do not always align with socialist goals. It examines their responses to various movements across regions such as Ireland, India, Poland, China, Russia, and the United States, drawing from their journalism, speeches, and correspondence. By analyzing previously dispersed material, the study offers a coherent view of how they assessed each national struggle's potential to influence the prospects of a proletarian revolution.
