Marx and Engels supported the cause of Irish independence long before
Marxists like Connolly were involved. They did not extract promises from
bourgeois nationalists that they would expropriate the expropriators.

CB: We are in the U.S., the imperialist power that is waging war on Iraq. We
best not make strict demands on the Iraqi resistance movement, whereas an
Iraqi socialist might. Connolly as an Irish Marxist would have higher
demands than especially British Marxists , in analogy. Or Lenin was Great
White Russian and Rosa Luxemburg was Polish. Comrade Rosa L.  had stricter
demands on Polish national liberationists than Comrade V.I. The relation
between colonializer and colonialized impacts the analysis and the analyzer.
