Yeah and frankly it’s a discussion that needs to be had. I was referring specifically to the post - hence my use of the phrase “this kind of patsoc notion.” I find the notion that acknowledging the US is a particular case makes one woke sets a really bad tone. The US is a very specific case of settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing/genocide run amok, not acknowledging that fact is problematic to say the least.

and tbf I think lenin used the word “state” which makes a lot more sense.
