INTRODUCTION Volume Two examined the body of work left by Marx and Engels on the ‘National Question’ between the end of the 1847-9 International Revolutionary Wave and Engels’ death in 1895. It was shown that Marx and Engels bequeathed a particular legacy on this issue, which, in its most developed form, amounted to an Internationalism from Below approach. In 1896, soon after Engels’ death, the Second International, which had been formed in 1889, adopted its well-known support for ‘the right of nations to self-determination’. This was a significant contribution by leading Social Democrats to addressing the ‘National Question.’ They wanted to forge an orthodox Marxism which they thought should underpin the working of the Second International. Volume Three examines some of the debates from 1895, which took place amongst Social Democrats within the Second International and its constituent Social Democratic parties up to the first two years of the First World War from 1914-16. After this Introduction (Chapter 1), Chapter 2A outlines the global context of ‘High Imperialism’ which dominated the world from 1895-1916. ‘High Imperialism’ was the culmination of two decades of the ‘New Imperialism’, which had been building up since the 1870s (see Volume 2, Chapter 3A). Chapter 2B shows outlines the debates over the ‘National Question’ of those wanting to claim the orthodox Marxist mantle. In this new situation of ‘High Imperialism’, theoreticians and spokespersons, from a number of Second International affiliated Social Democratic parties, examined the ‘National Question’ by looking through ‘lenses’ they claimed to have been left by Marx and Engels. However, they could be quite selective in their choice of 'lens'. This often led to blinkered viewpoints. As the pressures of the ‘New Imperialism’ (1) followed by ‘High Imperialism’ bore down upon Social Democrats, they tended to ignore Marx and Engels’ own later ‘internationalism from below’ approach to the ‘National Question’. As the influence of ‘High Imperialism; grew, would-be orthodox Marxists of the Second International were able to identify a definite Revisionist 6 current associated with Social Democracy’s Right wing. However, most Rightists were less interested in participating in Social Democracy’s Marxist debates. Instead they increasingly used their official party and trade union positions to come to an accommodation with their host states, their rulers, employers and the imperialist policies they promoted. Thus, an initially unacknowledged social chauvinism and social imperialism, often found amongst Social Democrats in the dominant nations of the imperial states contributed, in turn, to a social patriotic response amongst many Social Democrats in the oppressed nations and nationalities. Orthodox Marxists were often less vigorous in opposing the Right in practice, as opposed to theory. However, even the developing orthodox Marxist theories had failings, which made them less effective in countering the overall drift to the Right. Those would-be orthodox Marxists of the Second International became divided into two main camps over the ‘National Question’. The first camp was led by Karl Kautsky of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SDPD) (2), the second by Otto Bauer of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SDPO) (3). The debates between these two camps had most resonance in the Prussian/German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Given the awe, in which the SDPD was held by most Social Democrats, it was Kautsky’s theories that tended to have the greater international influence. Many on the Left saw the organisationally and electorally successful SDPD, and its ‘German road to socialism’, as the model to adopt. Just as the earlier, very French Jacobins believed that they provided a universal model for others to emulate, so too, if not so self- consciously, did the German Social Democrats. Most revolutionary Social Democrats, including Lenin and others in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) also accepted the SDPD's and, in particular, Kautsky's political lead up to the First World War. Bauer led the other would-be orthodox Marxist, Social Democratic approach to the handling of the ‘National Question’. Along with Max Adler and Karl Renner, he helped to develop an Austro-Marxist (4) approach to the ‘National Question’. The SDPO advocated the reconstitution of

Introduction n 1906 a constitution laid down the rules and procedures for government I based in law. It was the first time in Iranian history that government was 'conditioned' (mashrut) to a set of fundamental laws which defined the limits of executive power, and detailed the rights and obligations of the state and society. No such revolution had ever happened in Europe, because - as a rule - there had always been legal limits to the exercise of power in European societies, however powerful the government might be, and however narrow, limited and unequal the scope of the law in defining the relationship between the state and society, and among the social classes.

  • Chapter 1 the Azerbaijanis Until 1920
    Chapter 1 The Azerbaijanis until 1920 The Azerbaijanis live in an area that has been a center of ideological ac- tivity, confrontation, and accommodation between different cultures. Un- til the second half of the nineteenth century, the delineation between their identities as Turks, Azerbaijanis, Iranians, and Muslims was not clear, and Azerbaijanis rarely referred to themselves as “Azerbaijani.” The de- velopment of the Azerbaijanis’ collective identity intensiªed and became a struggle toward the end of the nineteenth century, when a distinctive Azerbaijani national identity emerged as a political force. The polemics and competition over the identity of the Azerbaijanis were stimulated by revolutionary changes occurring in all the empires surrounding the Azerbaijanis, their increased exposure to the growing nationalism of the peoples around them, the idea of modern nationalism, and the political activities of various ideological movements that competed in the region at that time: Pan-Islam, Pan-Turkism, Iranian nationalism, and commu- nism. The competition between these rival ideologies further intensiªed in the ªrst quarter of the twentieth century after the fall of the Ottoman Em- pire and the subsequent disengagement of Muslim and Ottoman identi- ties, and the division between Turkic cultural identity and Turkish state identity that occurred with the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. The change in the state identity of Iran also intensiªed the struggle over the identity of the Azerbaijanis. Until the establishment of the Pahlavi regime in the twentieth century, the identity of Iran was not ex- clusively Persian, but supra-ethnic. From the eleventh century until the founding of the Pahlavi regime, the political leadership of Iran was mostly Turkic, and both Turkic and Persian cultural elements inºuenced 16 l borders and brethren the ethnic character of the regime and the culture of the country.

Many freedom fighters from other countries were encouraged by the development and came to Iran to fight alongside the Iranians for their Constitutional movement ( 1905-1910).• When despotic forces (Istebdad) with the support of Tsarist Russia, were pressuring the constitutionalist forces, famous foreigners held rallies in support of the Iranian freedom fighters. For example, Zia al-Din, son of Mahmud Pasha, organized and chaired meetings with allies in Istanbul supporting the efforts of the Iranian freedom fighters.2 Apart from these regional activities, other freedom fighters from faraway countries took notice of Iran and joined the constitutionalists. Their names have been recorded in Iran for their bravery. Such as German Fyodor, a Mojahedin artilleryman in the Gilan province, Aliev Shalatov, a naval sailor, Patomectin, a national army gunner, Fonarov, a fugitive Russian soldier, and Charles Semino, a Frenchman who died and left his mark on the history of the Constitutional Revolution. Another person, Saeed Salmasi, 2 was able to mobilize a large number of young Ottoman Turks to join the other fighters defending the constitutionalism of Azerbaijan.• Perhaps the name of Panov, a member of the Russian Social Democratic Party, and his clever actions in constitutionalist propaganda are one of the shining *Pictures & illustrations added to the translation by the Baskerville Institute.

WASHINGTON, DC, December 25, 2019 -- On the brink of the 40th day commemoration of the martyrs of the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people, which took place in November, Resistance Units of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) have posted pictures and excerpts of the messages of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and Mr. Massoud Rajavi, the Leader of the Iranian Resistance, in various parts of Tehran and other cities. Simultaneously, the MEK has issued a call for the commemoration of the martyrs of the uprising on December 26, 2019. The clerical regime has marshaled the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the suppressive Bassij paramilitary forces, intelligence agents, and plainclothes agents in an attempt to prevent the commemoration from taking place. During the November uprising, on the personal orders of the regime's supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the regime's suppressive forces killed over 1,500 protesters, while injuring over 4,000 and arresting 12,000 more.
