Analysis on the “Difficult Dialogue between Marxism and Nationalism”: Re-evaluating Marxist Classical Writers’ Statements on Nationalism
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Both Marxism and Nationalism are listed among the most influential strains of thought in modern times. Scholars have long held that the dialogue between Marxism and Nationalism is difficult in their ideological collision. Therefore, Marxist classical writers’ statements on Nationalism had been frequently evaded, neglected, ridiculed or even criticized by some western scholars. In spite of their marked variations, the idea collisions of Marxism and Nationalism have historical origins and a basis in reality. By highlighting the macroscopic nature of historical materialism and distinguishing “two kinds of Nationalism”, Marxist classical writers’ statements on Nationalism not only introduced the “Long-period Theory” and “Mega Theory” backgrounds of "Human Liberation", but analyzed the “dual nature” of Nationalism from the standpoint of the proletarian. The interaction between interNationalism and Nationalism had been reflected in the scientific socialist practices from “workers without homeland” to “how to sing the song of homeland”. Marxism and Nationalism have multidimensional-intersections rather than a so called “difficult dialogue”. Thus, it is highly necessary to analyze and counter-criticize the “criticism” on the allegedly “difficult dialogue between Marxism and Nationalism”.
