RE the need to keep potentially, yes. We need to be sure that any change is done in a way that benefits the players as they need. Too often in the past, the USA has somehow managed to find a way to screw the developing countries over in ways that honestly I cannot even imagine how they do it. The partnerships end up seeming more like Faustian bargains than anything else, deals with the devil.
Correct. However, much like with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, sometimes a deal with the devil is what ultimately saves you, but you should never mistake the devil for your friend or an honest bargainer. And If the difference is bargain or destruction, it is better to bargain.
Again, ultimately it is unclear how these border changes will be made or progress, but thinking they will happen within the current economic framework is foolhardy at best. Perhaps it will occur within a non-capitalist framework after the revolution. Tough to say.
