Bourgeois nationalism

After the October Revolution, the Bolshevik government based its nationalities policy (korenization) on the principles of Marxism.

[5] In his Report on the 50th anniversary of the formation of the USSR, Leonid Brezhnev emphasized: "That is why Communists and all fighters for socialism believe that the main aspect of the national question is unification of the working people, regardless of their national origin, in the common battle against every type of oppression, and for a new social system which rules out exploitation of the working people.

The Soviet leadership saw their struggle for independence as a threat to the entire existence of the USSR's communist regime.

[7][8][9] Bourgeois nationalism as a concept was discussed by China's president, Liu Shaoqi as follows: The exploitation of wage labour, competition, the squeezing out, suppressing and swallowing of rivals among the capitalists themselves, the resorting to war and even world war, the utilisation of all means to secure a monopoly position in its own country and throughout the world - such is the inherent character of the profit-seeking bourgeoisie.

[10]In 1949, the Communist Party USA declared the Zionist movement to be a form of "Jewish bourgeois nationalism".
