Abstract
Rosa Luxemburg certainly considered him by this time to be a dangerous renegade, and, in the article that follows this one, she ruthlessly ridiculed the work translated here. On the other hand, Leon Trotsky, in The Nation and the Economy just as obviously read Kautsky's work favourably, particularly his comments on the linguistic community, the national state it facilitated, and the need to go beyond the economic limitations of the state by way of a United States of Europe. Combine democratic political states in an economic federation to eliminate tariffs, and the result would be to alleviate imperialist contradictions. That confederation of states is surely a formation with a great future; it also offers important lessons precisely for our era of imperialism. Keywords:confederation; democratic political states; economic federation; imperialist state; National State
