	National Liberation Movements in Global Perspective - Jeff Sluka
		Wars of national liberation are not acts of aggression or conquest, they are a defensive response to the aggression of the state.
		National liberation wars tend to be wars "without rules" or so-called "dirty wars," fought without regard to international standards of warfare and treatment of civilians and prisoners.
		Modern national liberation movements are basically the result of the spread of world capitalism, which has established a global pattern of social stratification between the "haves" and "have nots." The spread of the capitalist market-place has created a world where the lives of uncounted millions of people are characterised by oppression, exploitation, violence, and injustice.

		Once the war of national liberation is won and elites ink a treaty, a new national government can be constituted.

	Hal Draper: ABC of National Liberation Movements (1969)
		It is true that a particular national struggle can be swallowed up in, and overshadowed by, a more all-embracing conflict of an imperialist character, so that it is impossible to support any side of the national struggle without supporting one or another side in the general war.
		In fact, the Spanish war was a localized hot war in the midst of an international imperialist Cold War.
		It was quite possible that World War II could have been triggered off by it, and this eventuality would have completely overshadowed and changed the character of the local war, as in the case of Serbia.

	Lenin’s Teachings on National Wars
		If “all nations of the world” are now capable of waging wars of national liberation, this is obviously no longer the epoch of imperialist war and proletarian revolution.
		Minor’s thesis is stated as follows: “By the Hitler war, Europe and the whole world are ‘thrown back for several decades,’ and against this hideous reaction, ‘wars of national liberation’ have become inevitable on the part of all nations of the world and all states capable of defending their national independence.”
		In the event of the ‘great’ powers being thoroughly exhausted in the present war, or in the event of a victory of the revolution in Russia, national wars are quite possible and may even be successful.

		Wars of national liberation have often been defeated, the Tibetans' doomed uprising against the Chinese and the Kurds' hopeless battle against the Turks being cases in point.
		each has taken up arms in its own cause....Sheer cant, too, is the commonly spouted mantra that Israel's struggle with the Palestinians is a futile exercise in failure, since wars of "national liberation" are inherently just and can never be defeated.
