“The bourgeoisie of the oppressed nations persistently utilise the slogans of national liberation to deceive the workers; in their internal policy they use these slogans for reactionary agreements with the bourgeoisie of the dominant nation; in their foreign policy they strive to come to terms with one of the rival imperialist powers for the sake of implementing their predatory plans.”
Vladimir Lenin, The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination
