I will never stop linking to the Land Back red paper by the Yellowhead Institute. And Luna made this great thread on twitter that goes into it.
In terms of actuality, looking at places that had anticolonial revolutions like Cuba, DPRK, Vietnam, and places where the struggle is still occurring like Palestine, South Africa, or even in Canada and US gives some insight. A return of land to common ownership and the dismantling of colonial power structures, but what that covers depends on the colonized people. You can see some good examples of that in the Red Paper I linked.
And a reminder, part of respecting the right to self determination is giving people the ability to choose how their land is used instead of dictating to them in a paternalistic "we'll only give you this conditionally" manner like many so-called leftists in the West love to do.
She touches on Vietnam's experience in decolonizing from France and goes over some of the faux pas that I tend to see people make so I thought it would be useful to link
You're not helping lol, the OP was obviously asking for specifics - exactly how would landback be achieved? What happens to the non-natives?
Yes I know, I was repeating the right wing meme the student loan solution "you took a loan, pay it back"
Idk, it's probably about land redistribution and reparations for lots of generations being second class citizens, or not citizens at all I mean.
I don't think the goal is to have post-genocide minorities ruling over all the rest of inhabitants. That sounds like rightwing scaremongering. Of course, someone might have this idea, or will be get paid to parrot him havinf this idea. But sounds like a bad idea.
I'm not memeing but I think one way to start the process would be to basically make anyone with tribal ancestry eligible for veterans' benefits. They get a GI bill, VA hospital (clinics and facilities to be built on tribal land), and is required by law to be honored for discounts at Disney world and all that shit.
Like M4A it is barely "revolutionary" and not even close to the finish line, but similar in that it makes efficient use of existing instituions by simply expanding them. Obviously a better way to do this would be to give tribes the funding to build these things themselves rather than relying on yet another imperialist handout that doesn't even serve as justice .
founding a cult and then living in a house in atlanta yelling about how vaccines are a capitalist plot to poison you
Probably a lot of ways it can look. Thinking of this recent story out of Vancouver tho, maybe in NA it'll look like this but more so?
This is what it looks like in practice: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/senakw-squamish-first-nation-vancouver-rental-housing-development
Under capitalism, the first nations people will see that it is in their interests to profit from the land that is given to them. In this case, that means partnering with private development companies.
Between $16 billion and $20 billion will be generated from the rental income of Senakw throughout the entire lifespan of its buildings, with the First Nation receiving half of this income under its 50-50 partnership with Westbank. In 2019, the construction cost of the project was estimated to be $3 billion.
