I support economically left-wing, culturally neutral and nationalist plans which advocates for collective ownership of the means of production, combined with  anti-imperialism,  egalitarianism, international solidarity, national self-determination and national sovereignty.

As an adherent to Marxism, I identify the nation as a socioeconomic construction created after the collapse of the feudal system which was used to create the capitalist economic system.

As part Classical Marxist, I have unanimously stated that nationalism is a bourgeois phenomenon that is not associated with my ideologies.

In specific situations, I support supported patriotic movements but only if they are in the interest of class struggle, but I reject other nationalist movements that I deem to distract workers from their necessary goal of defeating the bourgeoisie.

I have evaluated certain nations to be progressive and other nations to be reactionary.

Like Joseph Stalin , I support interpretations of Karl Marx which tolerate the usage of proletarian patriotism that promotes class struggle within an internationalist framework.

Inspired by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, interpret issues that concern nationality on a social evolutionary basis. 

As such I claim that the creation of the modern day nation state is due the replacement of feudalism with the capitalist mode of production. 

With the replacement of feudalism with capitalism, capitalists seek to unify and centralize populations' culture and language within states as to create conditions conducive to a market economy on the basis of having a common language to coordinate the economy, contain a large enough population in the state to insure an internal division of labor and contain a large enough territory for a state to keep up a viable economy.

Although I see the origins of the nation state and national identity as bourgeois by their very nature, I believe that the creation of the centralized state because of the collapse of feudalism and creation of capitalism has created positive social conditions to agitate class struggle.[10] 

I followed Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's view along with Karl Marx’s view that the creation of individual-centered civil society by states is a positive development in simce it dismantled previous religious-based society and freed individual conscience.

Like in Marx’s The German Ideology, I state that even though civil society is a capitalist creation and is represented by bourgeois class rule, it is beneficial to the proletariat for the simple reason that it is unstable in that neither states nor the bourgeoisie are able to control a civil society.

Karl Marx described this more in dept in The German Ideology, saying:

“Civil society embraces the whole material intercourse of individuals within a definite stage of development of productive forces. It embraces the whole commercial and industrial life of a given stage, and, insofar, transcends the state and the nation, though on the other hand, it must assert itself in its foreign relations as nationality and inwardly must organize itself as a state.”

I evaluate progressive nationalism as being involved with the abolishment of feudalism and I believe that it was a beneficial step, but I evaluate nationalism as being detrimental to the evolution of international class struggle since it is reactionary and thus needs to be destroyed.

I believe that specific nations that can not consolidate viable nation-states have to be assimilated into other nations that were more viable and further along in the Marxian evolutionary economic progress

On the topic of nations and the proletariat, The Communist Manifesto reads:

“The working men have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got. Since the proletariat must first of all acquire political supremacy, must rise to be the leading class of the nation, must constitute itself the nation, it is so far, itself national, though not in the bourgeois sense of the word. National differences and antagonism between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the conditions of life corresponding thereto. The supremacy of the proletariat will cause them to vanish still faster. United action, of the leading civilized countries at least, is one of the first conditions for the emancipation of the proletariat.”

Generally, I prefer internationalism and interaction between nations in out class struggle, echoing what Karl Marx said here "[o]ne nation can and should learn from others"

Even though I retroactively criticize Irish unrest for being a temporary barrier to a worker's revolution in England, I believe that Ireland was oppressed by the UK, yet also that the Irish people would have greater served their own interests in joining proponents of class struggle in Europe.

This is because the socialist workers of Europe were and still are the natural allies of Ireland.

I also feel that it was in the UK’s ideal interest to let Ireland go as the Ireland situation was being used by elites to unite the British working class with the elites versus the Irish.

Stalinism and revolutionary patriotism

I support Joseph Stalin’s promoted civic patriotic concept which was called revolutionary patriotism in the USSR.

In his youth, Stalin had been active in the Georgian nationalist movement and he was influenced by Ilia Chavchavadze, who promoted cultural nationalism, material development of the Georgian people, statist economy and education systems. As such I draw inspiration from this

When Joseph Stalin joined the Georgian Marxists, Marxism in Georgia was very much influenced by Noe Zhordania, who rendered Georgian patriotic themes and opposition to Russian imperial control of Georgia.[

Zhordania said that communal bonds between people existed , bonds which created the plural sense of I of countries and went beyond that to state that the Georgian sense of id pre-existed capitalism and the capitalist idea of nationhood.

After he became a Bolshevik, Joseph Stalin became majorly opposed to national culture, he denounced the concept of modern nationality as bourgeois in origin and accused nationality of creating retention of "harmful habits and institutions".

But, Stalin , like me, believed that cultural communities do exist where people live common lives and are unified by holistic bonds, and that there are actual nations while others that do not check these boxes are paper nations.

As such, I generally attempt to define the nation as, to quote Joseph Stalin being "neither racial nor tribal, but a historically formed community of people".

We believe that the assimilation of primitive nationalities such as the Abkhazians and Tartars into the Georgian and Russian nations was beneficial.(I might have traces of Tartar ancestry after all)

Like Stalin, I stake a claim in the viewpoint that every nation is assimilating foreign values and that the nationality as a community is diluting under the pressures of capitalism and with rising rational universality.

In 1913, Stalin rightfully rejected the whole concept of national identity completely and rightfully advocated for a universal cosmopolitan modernity.

I support Joseph Stalin identifying Russian culture as being of greater universalist identity than that of the other nations at the time.

My perception of vanguard and progressive nations in contrast to nations I deem primitive is based on views related to Frederich Engels

I support transient Trotskyism as a gateway to . See here for more on Trotskyism
