A venue for national liberation movements and proletarian, socialist, anti-imperialist and democratic organizations to discuss burning theoretical issues on the topic of national liberation from imperialism.
This conference, grounded on the current world situation and global contradictions, aims to explore the theoretical and practical contributions of Lenin, Stalin and Mao on the subject of the national question, including the various modes of asserting and exercising the right to national self-determination – with its most prevalent form in the neocolonies: the struggles, both armed and unarmed, that fall under the umbrella of what are called national liberation movements.
This conference serves as a gathering point for national liberation movements and proletarian-socialist, anti-imperialist, and democratic organizations to discuss the burning theoretical issues underpinning the national liberation struggle against imperialism.
The primary objective of this conference is to create a space for dialogue and discussion on the theoretical and practical aspects of national liberation from imperialism. Specifically, we aim to revisit the contributions of Lenin, Stalin and Mao on the topics of the national question, including the various modes of asserting and exercising the right to national self-determination – with its most prevalent form in the neocolonies: the struggles, both armed and unarmed, that fall under the umbrella of what are called national liberation movements.
The following topics will be explored during the theoretical conference:
- National liberation movements with a focus on NLMs with an armed component and led by proletarian parties.
- The struggle of nation-states asserting their independence vs imperialism particularly looking at anti-imperialist governments in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and West Asia, as well as Central and South Asian states.
- The continuing relevance of the national question and national right to self-determination in advanced capitalist countries in Europe and North America.
