Against 'progressive' patriotism | Revolution Festival '23

From La France Insoumise, to Podemos, to the ‘Communist’ Party of Britain, a number of figures and groups on the left believe that rallying around the national flag is the best way to attract the support of the working class.This opportunism goes back a long way. Both the reformists and the Stalinists have tended to bend to the chauvinism of the ruling class, leading to the betrayal of workers and oppressed peoples.As communists, we understand that the working class has no nation, and that reshaping or filling nationalities with a ‘progressive’ content cannot lead the masses to emancipation.In this talk, Jack Tye Wilson argues why communists must reject these siren calls for ‘progressive’ patriotism. Instead, we must put forward a programme of proletarian internationalism. Only on this basis can the world working class achieve its common interests.✊ Join the campaign to build a Revolutionary Communist Party: https://communist.red/join📰 Subscribe to The Communist – the voice of the working class: https://communist.red/subscribe💸 Donate towards the launch of the RCP: https://communist.red/donate🔗 Read our latest news and analysis on The Communist website: https://communist.red🌐 Head to the international website of the IMT, for theory, news, and analysis: https://marxist.com/
