    National self-determination doesn't exist in socialism, nations are abolished, the point of is abolishing the concept of "governing" which in the modern era meant "mediating the contradictions of capital and establishing the will of the ruling class", rather than establishing new governing structures that are more "democratic" or "representative", the problem is to do away with the need to mediate class contradictions not reforming the process by which these are mediated, by achieving the destruction of wage labor. such thing as "self-governance" is actively not socialism.

    Rather than pushing for universal gains for the working class, including the indigenous working class, you are simply delivering them to unfettered exploitation under a ruling class of their ethnic peers

          Socialism has been paired with national self-determination and decolonization movements in much of the third world since after WW2.

            Yea that's why I said in the future. If we stick to a national self determination model then how do we solve problems between nations? Or the tendency for Nations to blame other nations for problems that capitalism creates(any war between two formerly colonial countries)? Or stop Nations from killing their own (Pakistan's civil war in 1971)?

            Bangladesh's national liberation was lead by huge numbers of socialists but now the country is dominated by their own right wing.

            Also the US and Canada aren't the third world. They're at the heart of the empire.

        Same argument applies, your "liberation indigenous people" amounts to delivering indigenous working class to capitalists of their own race, what do the working class care about the race of their opresor? the point is to abolish the means by which indigenous workers are opresed, not give them a better more democratic opresor

      :yes-comm:

      i don't think anyone is rooting for the class system to survive the revolution, least of all indigenous peoples who have been forced into accordance with said capitalist patriarchal framework.

        You are spouting empty slogans without really analyzing their content, sure indigenous workers probably don't, but that's the thing a government structure is a way of controlling the national capital, and managing a class system. Tell me how you pretend to destroy capitalism and also form a structure that only exists to manage capitalist production at the same time?
