    Or you could put the Canadian military into the hands of the first nations people and collaborate with them as they lead the defense against the torchbearer of European colonial empire

      What makes you think they’re all going to get along and respect the sovereignty of a nation that no longer exists but expects military dominance over them all?

      A communist revolution that replaces the provincial system with a nation council would fair much better.

        Communism without decolonization is currently theoretical and in theory it’s deeply problematic.

          Cede sovereignty over all territory to first nations.

          Subjugate yourselves to a first nations tribunal for your crimes against humanity.

          Transfer land and wealth to the first nations until a tribunal of first nations people have decided it’s enough.

          This is what’s problematic.

          It doesn’t make sense to divide the working class like that when they should be uniting. The land shouldn’t be owned by one nation vs another, it’s to be shared along with the wealth.

            That’s for the sovereign people to decide, not the occupiers. If you want working class solidarity, you’ll need solidarity with the occupied peoples first.

              Interesting to have a .ml but disagree with Lenin’s understanding of guiding the unconscious worker into a conscious one.

                Lenin didn’t deal with the colonial question. He did, however, deal with the national question, and clearly the national self-direction of the First Nations is dependent on decolonization.
