When ☭TANKIE☭s talk about "legitimate states" vs "settler states" and the concept of "nation states" and the right...

Who*

I have no problem with self-determination of Kurds. But they are cutting into Syrian territory right now, you know that right?

i avoid the cyclical threads like the plague

wait wait wait
are you defending the nation's claim to land and borders?
otherwise I dont see how that's relevant

I think you mean the post-colonialists who have tried to hijack ML online lately. Old school ML didn’t used to see settler-states as being fundamentally worse than other imperialist states imo

syria hardly has a "common language, territory or psychological make-up" considering their country was created in like the 20s or whatever

Arabs live in Manbij, Raqqa, and DEZ. most seem to be pretty thrilled about confederalism so far, but they're not kurds. They belong to Assad. Now let me get my screenshots from FSA twitter about how Kurds are terrozing innocent arabs and forcing them into conscript front line fodder armies.

did I just fucking read that from a supposed socialist

Not in a legalist way, but in a way that I respect the right of the Syrian people to self-determinate their future. Do you think the Syrians want these US based there?

Syria is a pretty ancient place, the fact that their state (!) was created in the 20s is not the point.

This is not me!!!

If you believe that then feudalism might be more your speed friend

It's a false flag.
