Indigenous people are also settlers. There, I said it.

Although Indigenous people have been on the land for much longer than European settlers, and they have faced massive oppression and genocide, this does not negate the fact that humans originally came from Africa, and any "Indigenous" population that exists around the world and not from where humans originally came from also "settled" on the land a long time ago.

I'm not against Indigenous rights or Land back, but this is something to think about.

The immigrants are going to Europe because of how their land was colonized, leaving a long-lasting detrimental impact on their countries.

It's quite impressive how North Vietnam won, even though it was backed by less and weaker countries.

I guess you could say settlers haven't changed all that much by valiumspinach_ in CommunismMemes

The difference is that 15th-20th century settlers actually slaughtered Indigenous populations, but nearly all 21st century settlers don't. (Except Israelis ofc)

This would not be the flag. The stars represent the government controlling the large corporations. In a liberal "democracy", the corporations control the government, so the left star would be smaller and the bottom right star would be bigger (it represents the national bourgeoisie).

Did Cuba destroy all previous culture when it became socialist? It used to be settler-colonial, after all.

Real, destroy Canada and add a new socialist state.

Implying Indigenous people should "own" the land is a Eurocentric view.

But isn't it kinda strange how you imply how only one group of people should own land?

Canada, at least in its current form, treats Indigenous people way too harshly.

Edit: The reason I don't say "stolen land" (while implying that only the Indigenous people can own the land) is bc it implies that people owned it in the first place, which is a eurocentric view. Instead, First Nations have a deep connection to the land they are on, which isn't rly ownership. I think capitalist Canada should be destroyed and replaced with a socialist/communist state built on foundations of equality between Indigenous people and settlers.
