    you can make the same argument for Hamas in Palestine and Herzbollah in Lebanon. Occupying territories which do not want to be occupied is imperialism.

    Edit: sorry, I read "American South" as in South America rather than Southern USA. In the case of USA, yes an ideal leftwing government in my world would help fund a grassroots leftist resistance for BIPOC rather than forced re-education camps for poor working class white people

      There is a difference between giving the Palestinians their country back vs making a new country to placate religious extremists

        It's not "making a new country" it's recognizing autonomy of the people of Xinjiang.

      Is the U.S. occupying Mississippi and Alabama?
