    It’s not done history, it’s ongoing as I mentioned in other comments. Most recently the drilling project in Alaska. Pretending it’s done is the same as pushing the “So-called Primitive Accumulation” stance, which Marx made fun of. Stolen land is still stolen resources and supremacy over these resources is the source of white supremacy and US Imperialism.

    even in the context when political power is materially in the hands of previously colonized peoples.

    Yes as in the lands claimed by the Americans will largely be returned to sovereign indigenous nations. The overall territories of the US, Canada, and Mexico will be governed by confederations of indigenous nations, the Black nations, and the settler descended peoples. Through the withering of the decolonial states will this occur:

    If the material conditions supporting white domination stop supporting that domination, how does that domination still exist?

    Those material conditions being sovereign access to stolen territory. Voluntarily or by force these will be reclaimed. Force will be necessary to defend the transfer though, even if largely voluntary. White domination isn’t only in the form of inequality under the settler majority political system, white domination is the settler majority system itself. Settlers cannot have equal individual power to the colonized individuals, i.e. the American system. We will not be assimilated. We will take control over our systems.

    Or is it that you want 0 political power for the descendants of colonizers?

    Only in the way that the Bourgeoisie loses political power as a class, they earn it back by working for socialism. Americans will still control what they work and their settlements, and where interests interact with other nations it will be resolved through the decolonial states.

    The Americans grew as an annexationist society, their power comes through their constant annexations. This ability will be de-fanged in the form of Land Back.

      I agree with you on most of that and a return to indigenous sustainable land management and a proper place to live off the reservations that were cut off from vital infrastructure.

      Using pre colonized borders for the confederacy? I don’t think most socialists care about the shape or name of their local governance.

      When you say “white domination is the settler majority system itself”. Does that mean that the land having a vast majority of the population being settlers + one man one vote is the problem? You intend to only have a vangard party rule that made of people that support land back, decolonization, and unionization of all industry?

        Borders are a colonial construct. Indigenous claimed territory was specific to the territory’s economic function and specific resources. The confederations’ granting of territorial use-rights may not necessarily take the shape of precolonial relations, but it’s fine to look at it as a blurry model of the future.

        Yes in the same way as “one person one vote” is necessarily not existing at this moment in AES countries as well, or in any theoretical ML state which would intentionally subjugate its vestigial Bourgeoisie and proletarianize them. Though most land in the US is not settled by Americans but reserved by the federal government for future extraction. Much of this will be immediately expropriated by the existing indigenous nations. Most homesteaded land works the same, it has basically been reserved under private ownership until the haute Bourgeoisie expropriates it and sometimes de-classes the settlers depending on the price. Beverly hills hillbillies being the successful image of that process for the petty bourgeois settler. Every town in America has a class of real estate agents who’s wealth came from selling their family’s stolen land, ala Primitive Accumulation. In simple terms just because your Bourgeoisie stole property doesn’t mean you’re the one entitled to its expropriation, the rightful owner is in the people it was stolen from.

          Exactly, most USians own nothing. If you’re lucky you own a house. Very few own large tracts of land. Land back means taking the land from the colonial government and bourgeois landlords and landholders like Bill Gates.
