I don't know, Louis.  Luxemburg was a great theorist, but her position of
the national question is known to be rather ugly.  I.e. she supported the
continued domination of Poland by Russia and attacked the socialist party
there for supporting self-determination.  I'd give it a D.

As for supporting the Mohawk nation, et al.  Most certainly.  But you
can't say that their rights are any more important than the rights of any
other oppressed nation.  Are you going to form a "hierarchy of the
oppressed?"
