National Liberation Socialism and Imperialism

National Liberation Socialism and Imperialism

V.I. Lenin

Several of Lenin’s basic theoretical essays on nationalism and the right of nations to self-determination are brought together in the volume. They analyse the national question specifically and historically in Russia, Europe and Ireland and discuss nation oppression, colonialism, great power chauvinism and the opportunism in the national question. The book underlines the relationship of nationalism to imperialism and shows how the struggle for democracy and national liberation is integrated with the fight for socialism.
