    I have to disagree somewhat with the right to pull out of treaties (and terminate contracts). It depends entirely on what the treaty/contract involves and who the other participants are. I would consider it completely reasonable to terminate any deal with Amerika or any other imperialist country without any kind of compensation, especially debt, and especially if the deal was initiated by a pre-revolutionary government

      I will be honest I didn’t even think about pre to post revolutionary governments originally, I guess my original statement was in error

      • not necessarily in error, just a bit oversimplified; a revolution can be seen as dissolving a “nation” (depending on definition) and creating a new one, in which case treaties would logically have to be renegotiated since one of the parties no longer exists
