Views of Marx and Engels on nationalism: a critical evaluation. Given the prominence of nationalism in modern times on the one hand — including states which have already undergone a socialist revolution — and the seemingly theoretical incompatibility between nationalism and the Marxist emphasis on class-based internationalism on the other hand, the question arises as to what the specific viewpoints of Marx and Engels regarding nationalism are. Regardless of the secondary role attributed to nationalism within the historical materialism of Marx and Engels, and the lack of a coherent and systematic treatment thereof, a distinctive conception can be inferred from their references to the subject. Both the nation and nationalism are viewed as aspects of the superstructure of capitalism. To the extent that nationalism can promote the development and consequent decline of capitalism in particular historical cases, approval is given to this bourgeois ideology. However, priority lies with economic rather than nationalistic considerations and the latter is viewed in terms of the strategic value thereof in the transition to socialism and communism. The treatment of nationalism by Marx and Engels is characterized by a lack of conceptual clarification, an underestimation of the future role of nationalism, a monocausal explanation thereof, and the subjection of nationalism to a secondary role within the framework of a proposed universally applicable analysis of social evolution. Furthermore Marx and Engels maintain an undifferentiated view of nationalism, failing to recognize the varied manifestations of nationalism — including ethnic nationalism
