        Wtf are you talking about. First Nations people’s have had this land collectively as sovereign nations for millennia its new that they only have their limited reservations. As US hegemony falls and ecosystems collapse they will only fight harder for their rightful land back. They are a great ally we have historically missed out on allying with. In terms of New Africa they have been an internal colony from the start, imported from Africa to work as slaves. They continue to be enslaved doing prison labor. They have fought for self determination from the start. From slave revolts to the Black Panthers to BLM. The ruling class has always been more scared by Black Nationalism than settler reformism. Socialist projects have always been decolonial from the USSR freeing the “prison house of nations” to China fighting Japanese colonialism, to Burkina Faso or Angola fighting against French colonialism, to Vietnam fighting French and US colonialism. The US revolution must be decolonial to, to right the particular wrongs of our horrible government and fight according to material conditions. Please go read the Red Deal or something like that.

        “Just assimilate into the nation that has been historically raping you, historically lynching you, historically thieving EVERY LAST MOTE OF LABOR IN EVERY MUSCLE FIBER OF YOUR BODY, and destroying your history while they’re at it! That’s the only realistic move” cracker do you hear yourself

        Shit like this is exactly why I believe we need our own nation, and would literally rather be liquidated than consider assimilation. This reductionist horseshit always gets trotted out whether we start talking the need for self-determination and sovereignty as a nation unto ourselves, or whether we’re talking just reparations to keep the median income of Black households from hitting zero within my fucking lifetime. Which need I remind you, is that way because of the systems that white supremacist capitalism have been erecting around us since the intentional failure of Reconstruction; thank you, Andrew fucking Johnson. Has been that way, since almost every ‘stronghold’ of accrued money in our community got burned by roving lynch mobs. But y’know, “just assimilate into the nation that’s killing you by the bucketful”.

        Jesus fucking Christ. Like-- you really want me and my community to just. Throw our collective lot in with the settler-left of a nation that can’t even FULLY eradicate slavery from its Constitution, and you think your bullshit sophistry is the panacea for that? You think that’s what’s realistic? You think it’s realistic for any of us to trust a populace that can’t even be trusted to get in between a killer cop and their would-be victim?
