Jim, my brother,

Blackfoots have never been part of the USA.  Yours is an independent
nation since subjugated fighting to regain its independence, not a
sessationist movement.  The Iraqi Kurds accepted the Baath Party
federation with autonomy.  If all sub groups of the Blackfoots want
separate independence, the Blackfoots will be reduced to nothing.  That
cannot possibly be progressive.  The imperialist West has been
exploiting Arab tribalism and ethnic separatism to control the Third
World.  Suppose the women of Blackfoot want independence along the line
of Western women liberation and seek US help to subjugate the Blackfoot
braves. Is that revolutionary?  The enemy at this juncture in history is
imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism.  All else is secondary.
