Marxists have always fought for an international solution to the crises of humanity. But in the dying age of imperialism, the national question still remains a fundamental issue – in every continent suffering from neo-liberalism and even in the Western world. The question continues to confound all, including leftists who can’t see the issue of who controls the state in the battle against imperialism.
What is nationalism? How do Marxists relate to the national struggle for self-determination? Is Australian identity and nationalism progressive? This workshop takes up the complex issue from an historical angle, the debates within the Marxist movement from a century ago to contemporary issues.
