As the party of the proletariat, the Social-Democratic Party considers it to be its positive and principal task to further the self-determination of the proletariat in each nationality rather than that of peoples or nations.” [1] No. 82 (May 6, 1915). Leading article: “Imperialism and the National Idea”. |
