AB  - Lenin argued that nationalism should be supported against
colonialism, though ultimately subordinated to the interests of the
working class. He admitted there were linguistic and cultural issues,
but associated the nation state chiefly with capitalist economics.
Contrasts Lenin′s historical argument with that of Jacob Gould Schurman
who emphasized linguistic and cultural sources of nationalism, and looks
at both in the light of basically different kinds of nationalism which
developed in Prussia, Caucasian Georgia and the Balkans. In all three
cases, the nations have their origins earlier than Lenin supposed, and
linguistic and cultural issues are mixed with economic issues in all of
them. In at least some cases, nationalism poses insoluble problems
unless it is subordinated to a federalist structure.
