Social-chauvinism
"What a lot of talk, argument and vociferation there is nowadays about nationality and the fatherland! Liberal and radical cabinet ministers in Britain, a host of “forward-looking” journalists in France (who have proved in full agreement with their reactionary colleagues), and a swarm of official Cadet and progressive scribblers in Russia (including several Narodniks and “Marxists”)—all have effusive praise for the liberty and independence of their respective countries, the grandeur of the principle of national independence. Here one cannot tell where the venal eulogist of the butcher Nicholas Romanov or of the brutal oppressors of Negroes and Indians ends, and where the common philistine begins, who from sheer stupidity or spinelessness drifts with the streams, begins. Nor is that distinction important. We see before us an extensive and very deep ideological trend, whose origins are closely interwoven with the interests of the landowners and the capitalists of the dominant nations. Scores and hundreds of millions are being spent every year for the propaganda of ideas advantageous to those classes: it is a pretty big mill-race that takes its waters from all sources—from Menshikov, a chauvinist by conviction, to chauvinists for reason of opportunism or spinelessness such as Plekhanov and Maslov, Rubanovich and Smirnov, Kropotkin and Burtsev." —Vladimir Lenin, On the National Pride of the Great Russians
Social-chauvinism, also known as social-patriotism, is a reactionary and revisionist position which omits internationalist principles in favor of bourgeois nationalism, class collaboration, and chauvinism. Social-chauvinism emerged in the early 20th century with the breakup of the Second International during the First World War, in which many opportunist parties in that organization sided with the ruling class of their own country in the inter-imperialist war. Today, social-chauvinism continues in multiple forms, with examples including Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, Juche, and Patriotic Socialism.
