    The national question is more complex with the decolonization context and anti-imperial context, because opposing the nationalism of the oppressed group supports the dominance of their rulers and their reactionary nationalism. These are two different things which we both call by "nationalism", one is the self-determination ideology, the other is the reactionary nationalist chauvinism. Their relationship is dialectical.

    There is a lot of nuance to this and there are limits and varied conditions. The goal however is the destruction of the power structure of national oppression in all cases.

    The works I recommend include:

    Lenin "The Right of Nations to Self-Determination" (which answers Luxemburg on this topic directly and is not long)

    Stalin "Marxism and the National Question"

    Fanon "The Wretched of the Earth"
