‘A people which enslaves others forges its own chains.’
Karl Marx

‘The victorious proletariat can force no blessings of any kind upon any foreign nation without undermining its own victory by so doing.’
Frederick Engels

‘If Finland, if Poland, if the Ukraine break away from Russia, there is nothing bad about that. Anyone who says there is, is a chauvinist. It would be madness to continue the policy of the Tsar Nicholas ... No nation can be free if it oppresses other nations.’
V.I. Lenin
