| Marx 1878: |
|||
Marx treats this Howell (a typical liberal labour politician) with contempt, corrects a number of his lying assertions about the International, states that he, Marx, is the author of The Civil War in France, which he published a long time ago in The Daily News, speaks of the International passing into a new, “higher” form, and makes other remarks on particular points. Inter alia. Marx writes:
|
N.B. Marx (1865) (and 1878) on self- determination of nations |
“By the way, a paragraph of the pro- gramme which I had the honour to indite for the General Council” (for the 1865 Conference) “reads: ‘The necessity of an- nihilating the Muscovite influence in Europe by the application of the principle of the right of nations to dispose of themselves, and the reconstruction of Poland upon a democratic and socialist basis’” (p. 586). ((In The Secular Chronicle, Vol. X, No. 5, August 4, 1878. A little magazine of a “free-thinking republican trend”. The publisher, Harriet Law, was a member of the International.)) ((My italics.)) |
