It opens with his foundational 1913 work \u003cem\u003eMarxism and the National Question\u003c\/em\u003e — the text Lenin praised as giving \"prime place\" in the Marxist literature on the subject — and traces the development of the Bolshevik line from its pre-October confrontation with Bundist and Austro-Marxist revisionism through its application under the dictatorship of the proletariat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded are Stalin's reports to the Tenth and Twelfth Party Congresses, his speeches on the formation of the USSR, his polemics against Semich in the Yugoslav Commission, his interventions on the Chinese revolution against the Trotskyite opposition, and the relevant chapter from \u003cem\u003eFoundations of Leninism\u003c\/em\u003e. Also collected are his addresses to the Communist University of the Toilers of the East and the 1929 letter \u003cem\u003eThe National Question and Leninism\u003c\/em\u003e, which sharply delineates the socialist nation from the bourgeois nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross these texts Stalin defends and develops the Marxist–Leninist thesis that the national question is inseparable from the proletarian revolution — that in the epoch of imperialism and proletarian revolution it has been transformed from a part of the old democratic revolution led by the bourgeoisie into a component part of the world proletarian revolution, with the proletariat as the leading force and the peasantry as the main force in the oppressed countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prairie Fire Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44122467598435,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/2643\/7987\/files\/national-colonial-cover_1.png?v=1776473940","url":"https:\/\/prairiefirepublishing.com\/products\/marxism-and-the-national-and-colonial-question","provider":"Prairie Fire Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
