    There was a dipshit in here the other day who said “free Tibet” and “return Hong Kong” in a completely unrelated post.

    I told him he should free Hawaii and return whatever land he lived on. He said that it was conquered fair and square.

    There’s just absolutely no self reflection in these people. I think it’s fear. Fear that someday, someone is going to do to them what they did to us. But simultaneously unable to deal with the truth.

      Literally…they will slowly push the world into hating them and then wanting to commit violence against them due to their paranoid, projective insanity…

    Genuine question: What would returning look like practially? Isn’t most land stolen from indiginous groups in general? Would we see people ofnforeigb descent emigrating back to nations of historical origin? Or is this a question of who governs the land, and not who resides on it?

      No, there’ll not be any deportation, but I guess Yankees will have their own gusanos.

      Red Nation (indigenous socialist podcast) talks a lot about the landback movement, and they have one episode specifically on it that I haven’t listened to yet. Here.

      The best people to look at on how decolonisation and landback will look like is usually those very same nations’ activists. And some references on how it could work out in practice are China’s autonomous regions and some southern countries like Bolivia (heck, maybe even Ireland).

      Sadly no country in America is a perfect reference on this, but the demands tend to point in similar directions. Things like autonomous government, language recognition and restoration, banning racist practices, access to basic life-sustaining services within their own borders.

      Existing indigenous nations govern the land. Even the neo-Colonial IRA governments are at the forefront of fighting climate change, habitat destruction, and mass extinctions (almost all biodiversity is on indigenous managed land). There are Communists in these nations trying to build them into radical socialist projects. Some nations are very radical.

      The settlers will be governed by a joint dictatorship of the oppressed nations, but will have political rights within revolutionary institutions for women, LGBTQ2S+, youth, workers, etc. Much the same as how the CPC rules China, the dictatorship will be selective in who it elevates into the state machine but will stay in touch with the masses through mass organizations like those listed above.
