    I don’t think it’s necessary to send the whiteys back out of some sense of vengeance or spite or whatever but even though you can give back land, you can’t undo genocide. Indigenous people are minorities in their own land and will be for the foreseeable future.

    How would you stop the majority of white people from just voting to take back the land or radicalizing into fascists over time? The track records of minority populations trying to keep on top of a majority population is not exactly heartwarming.

      I think both decolonization and socialist revolution don’t make sense unless you assume a degree of Balkanization of the US with the US’s geopolitical rivals supporting the separatist republics. With Balkanization, there will be pieces that are slanted towards being whiter than average and pieces that are slanted towards being less white than average. It’s the less-white-than-average pieces that have potential to be socialist and where decolonization could actually take place. The flip side is that the whiter-than-average pieces will be irredeemably Christofascist. A lot of it would boil down to how the less-white-than-average pieces can defend themselves from fascist separatists and the US rump state and whether they can get the majority of support from the US’s geopolitical rivals.
