Ethical Anti-Imperialism, the Second International, and the Betrayal of Principles

This chapter explores Marxism's opposition to prioritizing one country over another, the founding of the second international, and its shift towards conservatism. It also discusses how the parties of the second international, except for the Bolshevik faction in Russia, ultimately supported World War I, Lenin's policy of revolutionary defeatism, and the betrayal of the second international's principles.
