The Right Of Nations To Self Determination by Vladimir Il’ich Lenin
He argues that in the age of imperialism the right of nations to self-determination—including the right to secede—must be upheld as a democratic principle by socialists, both to combat national oppression and to win the trust of oppressed peoples; he criticizes bourgeois nationalism and opportunist socialism that deny this right, insists that recognizing self-determination is compatible with proletarian internationalism, and contends that voluntary federations and free choice, not forced domination, best advance working-class unity and the struggle against imperialism.
