No matter what i think of a specific Nation-State, i think separatism should always be supported uncritically. That's like Consent 101. In the name of what would you impose on people to be part of something they don't want to be part of?!

Who cares if it's China? In France many people aim for autonomy, too, in the colonized regions from Guadeloupe to Corse or Bretagne/Kanaky. If you pretend to support freedom for people/communities, then you should probably support these anti-colonial struggles too.

In this case, your uncritical support for separatism is indistinguishable from uncritical support for Anglo colonialism.

Uncritical support for repatriation from settler colonists and their collaborators.

"In this case, your uncritical support for refusing sex is indistinguishable from uncritical support of rape"

Do you realize how horrible what you're saying is? If my community doesn't want to be part of your colonial Empire, just kill us already but don't pretend we have a moral obligation to live by your rules.

Do you realize pee pee poo poo?

The colonizers in this case are Anglo. You're participating in an anglophone forum. Idgaf what you have to say about colonial empires.

So what? Did you read me defending western Empires? No. But i do read you defending the Chinese empire, and that worries me. If you want to build communism, the first step is to abolish all Nation States for they are bourgeois constructs controlling the people.
