Yvon Bourdet: World proletariate and national cultures.
This article deals with the following problem: what is the most adequate model of social and political organization in order to insure the development of cultural particularities? For this purpose, the author analyses the classical theses; he differentiates the orthodox marxist theory from that of the austro-marxists' and that, purely tactical, of Lenin. On the basis of both his own personal experience as son of a French peasant of the Limousin, and of the study of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian multinational empires, he shows that the Nation- State ? even though claiming to be the defender of national cultures ? is in fact the most efficient oppressor of cultural minorities. The state seeks to create a homogeneity to insure a better efficiency of the Body-Society in military or economic war, for the sake of the ruling class whether it be the bourgeoisie or the bureaucracy. The conclusion drawn by this research is that free development of cultural particularities is dependent, as a sine qua non condition, upon the abolition of class society.
