The American media loves saying that, but does it really have a right to exist? Does an apartheid colonizing regime have the right to exist in someone else’s land?

    They who? Capitalists? Politicians? Every white person, going by the poorly defined US definition of white?

    I think we can look at the Cuban revolution for some answers. They started building their socialist project, and the opponents of that basically self selected. The ex-Cubans of Miami seem in general much whiter than people in Cuba.

    I don’t think there’s a reason to proactively define colonial lines or whatever (though I agree with @absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml ).

    I think a revolution in the U$ will have to be lead (or mostly driven by) colonized people, and decolonization will be a part of that.

    The people who benefitted from Cuban plantations, and wanted to keep those benefits, weren’t removed in a process separate from the revolution - they opposed the revolution (and the restructuring that came afterwards), and were dealt with because of that.

      See, now that is the logic I can actually follow. That makes sense. Thank you
