Re: Self Determination- Support It!

[Julio Pino <jpino@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nestor: why not apply this line of reasoning to other multi-ethnic nations?
Who would profit the most from the break up of Canada? Obviously, the USA,
followed by France. Yet must we oppose self-determination for Quebec
because some sectors of the US bourgeosie support it.?
   The break up of Indonesia would be a progressive thing, because that
archipelego is a prison-house of nations. Likewise, I'd like to see the
Moros of the Philippines create their own idependent Moslem state, which
would be a tremendous blow to Estrada and the whole Filipino comprador
bourgeosie.
abrazos, Julio
