And not so much in the crushing of capital and reactionaries etc. but in de-colonization. We have a monumental task ahead of us; we Communists in America have a lot on our plate compared to other countries.
America is unique in the melting pot that it is but also in the fact that we have two peoples that are of immediate concern: The Native Americans and the New African peoples. We genocided the former and enslaved the latter for hundreds of years. I have no doubt we will need to create autonomous regions for Native Americans locally and state wide. This doesn’t mean people will have to move out, although they could, but rather they’ll participate in a different type of government, specifically one that would be mixture of Native American council, like the Iroquois Confederacy, and more modern democracy. All people will participate in the autonomous region’s politics. The same goes for the New African Peoples; this doesn’t mean it’ll just be a state or regions with only black people; there’ll be white Hispanic asian etc. living and participating in politics there.
All I know is that America after de-colonization will definitely not look like it does now. Over time no doubt the autonomous regions would simply become part of the greater international Commune, but that’s a long time after Socialism has been built everywhere.
Imperial core, baby! I’m not really sure what decolonization would look like. I am still reading the basics if theory so I haven’t really gotten down to the New Afrikan movement so I am very ignorant on the subject. Now when people talk about a New Afrikan nation are they really talking about forming an Ethnostate in the south? I know it’s entirely different than white nationalism being victims of slavery, Imperialism, ect and all that but I can’t imagine an ethnostate as a good idea. Of course I could completely be misunderstanding the goal of Black Nationalism. Of course I would rather racism be destoyed than keeping people’s separated so they don’t fight, if that is indeed possible. Certainly I wouldn’t want to force migration on people. I feel like the only proper explaination is that I am just ignorant and that’s not what people are advocating for by and large. I can’t help but thinking about my Jewish kin, and what a mess it’s been when we formed an ethnostate. Maybe if it wasn’t just a US military base with cool museums and a yamaka it would have been different, but I would have prefered if we had just stayed in a diaspora. What does decolonization mean to y’all in the American context?
