I remember when I was first learning about settler colonialism, I thought to myself: “Huh, this sounds like Taiwan and Israel” My instincts were correct on Israel, but I never looked too deeply into Taiwan. The fact that the Kuomintang displaced the Austronesian natives is a pretty strong indicator, but is Taiwan really a settler colonial state or are my intuitions wrong?
You know what, I agree. The Naxalites are the only hope for India as of now, CPI(M) and everyone else are electoralist scum. There is no socialist revolution without the liberation of oppressed nations, and it is sad to see so called socialists, really social-chauvinists, condemn the People’s War.
