The Monumental Site of Struggle: Self-Determination in Various Liberation Movements
The concept of self-determination is a crucial battleground between revisionists and revolutionaries in movements such as black liberation, indigenous liberation, and anti-imperialism. The divisions based on class within the black community are still exploited by the ruling class. Indigenous struggles are often overlooked or dismissed as ethno-nationalist projects by some leftist groups. Furthermore, instances of imperialist aggression are sometimes used by leftists to criticize global south movements. These examples underscore the ongoing importance of self-determination in combating revisionism and its impact both within and outside formal organizations. It is crucial for principled communists to study historical figures and learn from indigenous comrades to safeguard against chauvinism and revisionism.
