National Question by Rosa Luxemburg
An incisive Marxist critique arguing that national self-determination cannot substitute for proletarian class struggle and that the pursuit of national independence, when led by bourgeois forces, risks dividing the working class and diverting it from socialist aims. While condemning national oppression and supporting cultural and political rights for oppressed peoples, the work insists that genuine emancipation requires international working-class solidarity and socialist transformation rather than the creation of new nation-states. It challenges contemporary nationalisms and autonomy schemes as inadequate remedies for economic exploitation, urging socialists to prioritize class unity and revolutionary change.
