Cosmopolitanism

Cosmopolitanism is an idealist distortion of proletarian internationalism that ignores the dialectical relationship between nationalism and internationalism and advocates for a worldwide national culture. Cosmopolitanism, while not inherently counter-revolutionary, can be used for counter-revolutionary purposes and therefore is a danger to proletarian organization.

Soviet "Anti-Cosmopolitan Campaign"

From 1947 to 1952 the Communist Party of the Soviet Union led a campaign against cosmopolitanism, and promoted proletarian internationalism instead. Anti-communist historians have distorted this into a campaign of anti-semitism to serve as Statesian or Zionist imperial propaganda, although historical records prove that those most criticized by the campaign were not jewish, and plenty of jewish people took an active part in the campaign.
