Proletarian internationalism, sometimes referred to as international socialism, is a socialist form of internationalism, based on the view that capitalism is a global system, and therefore the working class must act as a global class if it is to defeat it in class conflict. Workers thus should struggle in solidarity with their fellow workers in other countries on the basis of a common class interest, to avoid continued subjugation via divide and rule.
Proletarian internationalism is closely linked to goals of world revolution, to be achieved through successive or simultaneous communist revolutions in all nations. Marxist theory argues that world revolution would lead to world communism, and later still, stateless communism.Workers of all countries, unite! thus became a Marxist cry.
Marxists regard proletarian internationalism the antonym of bourgeois nationalism but the term has been subjected to different interpretations by various currents of Marxist thoughts.
Harpal Brar (born 5 October 1939) is an Indian-born communist politician, writer and businessman, based in Britain. He is the founder and current Chairman of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist).

Viva, vive, and vivat are interjections used in the Romance languages. Viva in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, Vive in French, and Vivat in Latin and Romanian are subjunctive forms of the verb "to live". Being the third-person, subjunctive present conjugation, the terms express a hope on the part of the speaker that another should live. Thus, they mean "(may) he/she/it live!" (the word "may" is implied by the subjunctive mood) and are usually translated to English as "long live".
They are often used to salute a person or non-personal entity: "Vive le Québec libre" (from Charles de Gaulle's Vive le Québec libre speech in Montreal), or "Viva il Duce!", the rough equivalent in Fascist Italy of the greeting, "Heil Hitler." Additionally, in monarchical times the king of France would be wished "Vive le Roi!" and the king of Italy "Viva il Re!", both meaning "May the king live!" or "Long live the king!".
The acclamation "Vivat!" is still used in British coronations when the sovereign is hailed while processing from the quire of Westminster Abbey towards the altar. The shouts are delivered by the King or Queen's Scholars of Westminster School, who by tradition are the first to acclaim the sovereign at the ceremony. When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, she was greeted with shouts of "Vivat, Regina/Vivat Regina Elizabetha/Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!", which was incorporated into Hubert Parry's anthem, I was glad.

Godfrey Cremer discusses our attitude towards modern day internationalism, with reference to the experience of the Spanish civil war. Anti-imperialism in all its forms is more likely to be labelled 'terrorism' than freedom fighting, as it was by Fascism and the 'democratic' imperialists in Spain. But we must not be drawn down this path. We must learn the lessons of the intervening years (1936 - 2012)
Keith Bennett delivers a message on behalf of the CPGB-ML at the international BBQ held in Saklatvala Hall, Southall, on 30 July 2011. The event celebrated the 58th anniversary both of the DPRK's victory in the fatherland liberation war (25 June 1950 -- 27 July 1953), which marked the first defeat of US imperialism, and of the storming of the Moncada barracks, by Cuban revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro, on 26 July 1953. The latter signaled the start of the Cuban revolution and gave its name to the Cuban revolutionary guerrilla movement (M 26-7). Cde Keith outlines the achievements of these two revolutions, emphasizing the importance of proletarian internationalism as the key ingredient to successful anti-imperialist struggle. He reminds us, in addition to the great role of the Chinese...
