    I will never stop linking to the Land Back red paper by the Yellowhead Institute. And Luna made this great thread on twitter that goes into it.

    In terms of actuality, looking at places that had anticolonial revolutions like Cuba, DPRK, Vietnam, and places where the struggle is still occurring like Palestine, South Africa, or even in Canada and US gives some insight. A return of land to common ownership and the dismantling of colonial power structures, but what that covers depends on the colonized people. You can see some good examples of that in the Red Paper I linked.

    And a reminder, part of respecting the right to self determination is giving people the ability to choose how their land is used instead of dictating to them in a paternalistic "we'll only give you this conditionally" manner like many so-called leftists in the West love to do.

      The Luna Oi thread really didn't clear anything up tbh

        She touches on Vietnam's experience in decolonizing from France and goes over some of the faux pas that I tend to see people make so I thought it would be useful to link
