While their attempts to understand the workings of capitalism led
them to the conclusion that the advanced societies of Western
Europe were those most likely to be the setting for a successful
socialist revolution, Marx and Engels by no means ignored
developments outside this region. Indeed, given the configurations
of international politics in their time, plus their conception of
capitalism as a universalising system, they believed that some of
the forces working for change in less advanced regions could even
affect the prospects of a proletarian revolution in Western Europe
itself. This book, first published in 1980, traces the development
of Marx and Engels' attitudes towards, and relations with, the
principal national movements of their time. It deals with their
responses to such movements in areas as diverse as Ireland and
India, Poland and China, and Russia and the United States, as well
as in many other regions. Many of Max and Engels' most significant
statements on the national question were made in their journalism,
occasional addresses and private correspondence - sources not
always readily accessible to, or even known by, some of their more
immediate successors. Subsequent publication of this
previously-dispersed material has enabled a more coherent picture
of their ideas on the subject to be drawn. Marx and Engels believed
that national aspirations and the cause of socialism did not always
go hand in hand and each national struggle had to be examined on
its merits and judged according to whether its success would retard
or enhance the prospects of a socialist revolution. Based on a wide
range of sources, this study examines an important, yet neglected,
area of Marx and Engels' ideas and activities, and indicates the
criteria by which they determined their attitudes at different
times to a variety of national movements at work in four
continents.
