British soil? [was Re: [A-List] UK sub-imperialism: Ascension Island]

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would add that the slight but evident reassertion of Argentina 
against UK on the Falklands issue, which is a most striking trait 
with the current administration at Buenos Aires (at the very least as 
much as US pressure), has helped in this clearing up of the fuzzy 
promises at least Ascensión-democratists in London. What do Meg 
Thatcher or Mr. Churchill Jr. think of all this?

On a more general level, the very idea that Ascensión is "British 
soil", of course, is as untenable (and worthy of unstoppable fits of 
laughter) as similar lie on the misnamed Falklands. Ascensión, as 
Nkwame Nkrumah explained half a century ago on his "Africa must 
unite", is an African dependency that has come to act as a faraway 
outpost of imperialism, and African peoples to the South of the 
Sahara (at least) should de-Balkanize themselves in order to reassert 
their oceanic might against these advanced stations of imperialist 
warlordism based in London and Washington. 

BTW: "de-Balkanize" is an intentionally vague way to put things. It 
does not necessarily have to do with "socialist regimes", though it 
is quite hard to see any road towards this goal that skirts the 
struggle for socialism. 

However, and as a mind experiment if you like, one should state that 
even the -utterly improbable if not straightforwardly ludicrous- 
eventuality that an "expansionist and imperialist joint South African 
Black & White Bourgeoisie" managed to unify by the force of economic 
might, arms and diplomacy -even thuggery- these peoples (thus 
fulfilling the goal Nkrumah put forth) would menace British power on 
Ascensión, thus showing that it is menacing the whole imperialist 
system as a whole: the Golden Billion Club is a closed institution.
