Proletarian internationalism, sometimes referred to as international socialism, is a socialist form of internationalism, based on the view that capitalism is a global system, and therefore the working class must act as a global class if it is to defeat it in class conflict. Workers thus should struggle in solidarity with their fellow workers in other countries on the basis of a common class interest, to avoid continued subjugation via divide and rule. Proletarian internationalism is closely linked to goals of world revolution, to be achieved through successive or simultaneous communist revolutions in all nations. Marxist theory argues that world revolution would lead to world communism, and later still, stateless communism.〔N.I. Bukharin,'' Marx's Teaching and its Historical Importance'', (Chapter 4: The Theory of Proletarian Dictatorship and Scientific Communism ) in Nikolai Bukharin and Others, ''Marxism and Modern Thought'' (George Routledge & Sons Ltd., 1935), page 1-90.〕〔Vladimir Lenin, The ''State and Revolution: The Marxist Theory of the State & the Tasks of the Proletariat in the Revolution'' (1918), (Chapter V: The Economic Basis of the Withering Away of the State ), Collected Works, Volume 25, p. 381-492〕 ''Workers of all countries, unite!'' thus became a Marxist cry. Marxists regard proletarian internationalism the antonym of bourgeois nationalism but the term has been subjected to different interpretations by various currents of Marxist thoughts. ==Marx and Engels== Proletarian internationalism is summed up in the slogan coined by Marx and Engels, ''Workers of all countries, unite!'', the last line of The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848. However, Marx and Engels' approach to the national question was also shaped by tactical considerations in their pursuit of a long-term revolutionary strategy. In 1848, the proletariat was a small minority in all but a handful of countries. Political and economic conditions needed to ripen in order to advance the possibility of proletarian revolution. Thus, for example, Marx and Engels supported the emergence of an independent and democratic Poland, which at the time was divided between Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Rosa Luxemburg's biographer Peter Nettl writes, "In general, Marx and Engels' conception of the national-geographical rearrangement of Europe was based on four criteria: the development of progress, the creation of large-scale economic units, the weighting of approval and disapproval in accordance with revolutionary possibilities, and their specific enmity to Russia."〔J.P Nettl, "Rosa Luxemburg", Oxford University Press 1969. Nettl is quoting Hans-Ulrich Wehler's study, "Sozialdemokratie and Nationalstaat" (Würzburg, 1962)〕 Russia was seen as the heartland of European reaction at the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Proletarian internationalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
