History

Very true! The german people are 100% to blame for causing the second interimperialist war! Interimperialism ofc means "a battle between the forces of good and evil"!!!! Material conditions and economic analysis of empire? Irrelevant!!!!Their intrinsic national cultural of prussian militarism means they cant be trusted. Wholesome beans france, belgium, netherlands, switzlerland, britain and yankland were wholsome defenders of wholesome democracy against the evil authoritarian krauts!! If not for the wursteaters there would have been no imperialist wars (imperialist particles flood the brain when you start to speak german (not not swissgerman or dutch!!)!!) Thats why wurstland should have been divided among these peaceloving, antiracist and antiimperialist powers who would certainly repopulate germany with peaceloving french and british blood!!!!!!!1!!!!11

/s in case it wasnt clear. Marx's warty ass how are 13 people upbearing this idealist bullshit

Marxism and the National Question

A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.

Only thing missing there is the shared territory due to the occupation. I don't tend to believe that the Rhinelanders share a language or common culture with France, for example. Other than that, balkanized Germany at the Polish border would serve less geopolitical interests than if they had managed to secure a neutral buffer country, with the possibility of an eventual SED victory.
