  1. The Breakdown of Nations
    Resource Type: Book
    Published: 1957
    Kohr maintains that throughout history, people who have lived in small states are happier, more peaceful, more creative and more prosperous. He argues that virtually all our political and social problems would be greatly diminished if the world's major countries were to dissolve back into the small states from which they sprang.
  2. Does the United States Still Exist?
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2016
    To answer the question that is the title, we have to know of what the US consists. Is it an ethnic group, a collection of buildings and resources, a land mass with boundaries, or is it the Constitution? Clearly what differentiates the US from other countries is the US Constitution. The Constitution defines us as a people. Without the Constitution we would be a different country. Therefore, to lose the Constitution is to lose the country.
  3. Foreword to the Anthology: The Polish Question and the Socialist Movement
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 1905
    Luxemburg argues that "the proletariat the Poland can and must fight for the defense of national identity as a cultural legacy, that has its own right to exist and flourish." But she maintains that "our national identity cannot be defended by national separatism; it can only be secured through the struggle to overthrow despotism" throughout the entire country [i.e. Russia, of which Poland was a part].

    There are a variety of articles listing people of a particular nationality. People on these lists should be notable in some way and should ideally have articles of their own.
  6. Marx at the Margins
    On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies

    Resource Type: Book
    Published: 2016
    Marx’s critique of capital was far broader than is usually supposed. To be sure, he concentrated on the labor-capital relation within Western Europe and North America. But at the same time, he expended considerable time and energy on the analysis of non-Western societies, as well as race, ethnicity, and nationalism.
  7. National liberation and Bolshevism reexamined: A view from the borderlands - An analysis of the socialist debates on the national question up through 1914
    A view from the Czarist empire's borderlands obliges us to rethink assumptions about the revolutions of 1905 and 1917

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2014
    The following paper analyzes the socialist debates on the national question up through 1914. I argue that an effective strategy of anti-colonial Marxism was first put forward by the borderland socialists, not the Bolsheviks. Lenin and his comrades lagged behind the non-Russian Marxists on this crucial issue well into the Civil War.
  8. The National Question
    Selected Writings by Rosa Luxemburg

    Resource Type: Book
    Published: 1976
    In her penetrating analysis of nationalism, Rosa Luxemburg argues that the formula of "the right of nations to self-determination" is essentially not a political or programmatic guide to the nationality question, but only a means of avoiding that question.

    Nationality is the legal relationship between a person and a country. Nationality affords the state jurisdiction over the person and affords the person the protection of the state. What these rights and duties are vary from country to country. By custom and international conventions, it is the right of each state to determine who its nationals are.
