Transcript	24 tion of the policy " pursued during many years by the nationalist movement of the bourgeoisie against foreign oppression by some other nationality and against absolutism (Turkish and Russian.) Apart from the question as to whether the success of one or the other bourgeoisie was preferable there could have been no other. There was no reason why Marxists should not have appealed to nations beforehand to take part in wars of a similar type by inflaming national hatred, as did Marx in 184a and, later, in the war against Russia; and as Engels incited the national hatred of the Germans in 18^9 agaisst their oppressors Napoleon III. and* Russian Isarism.* To compare a " continuation of the policy " of the bourgeois struggle against feudalism and absolutism- the policy of the bourgeoisie which is liberating itself— with the " continuation of the policy" of a decrepit reactionary imperialist bourgeoise which has plundered the whole world, and which in close alliance with the feudal elements crushes the proletariat, is like comparing yards with hundredweights. It is like comparino- Robespierre, Garibaldi, and Zhelabov, who were repre* sentatives of the bourgeoisie," with Millerand, Salandra and Guchkov, who are also " representatives of the bourgeoisie." One cannot be a Marxist and fail to cherish the deepest regard for the great bourgeois revolutionaries who had a historical right to speak in the name of their bourgeois "fatherlands," which were raising new nations—comprising millions and tens of millions of men-to a civilised level of existence and sending them to battle against feudalism. And one cannot be a Marxist without feeling contempt for the sophistry of Plekhanov and Kautsky, who sneak of -national defence " in connection with the tiSr^W •♦? i^T ,Y 9erman imPer'al'sts, or in connection with the dea s of the imperialists 0/ EnglanSTFrM^ an" Turkey.
