bloodline and language as the common features." He
said, "the territorial definition of a nation

(Thus Amerika and other imperialist countries are
pseudo-nations.)
We must embrace Zionism, in the name of humanity.
We are humanitarianists.
mim3 for the Maoist Internationalist Movement: You
raise a good point actually Ixabert. Given how the
"communists" you have seen do not distinguish
lines and do not sharpen the national question to
get the full benefit of theory, I can see how you
reached the conclusion you did.
Kim Il Sung went down a bad road on the national
question, abandoning Stalin. Kim was afraid
southern Korea would become a nation separate from
northern Korea. He took a "pragmatist-empiricist"
approach that since he did not like Stalin's line
for his particular situation, one data point in
the world, he threw out Stalin's theory. I say
"pragmatist-empiricist," because if we throw out
theory every time we think we have an inconvenient
fact, we will never have any theory. No theory
works 100% of the time or is understood 100% of
the time as the case with Kim.
The whole bloodline idea is an invitation to global
intra-proletarian slaughter. Kim could have told Koreans
that u.$. imperialists were breaking up their families
without taking up the bloodline theory of nation.
He overreacted to imperialist power. Sure some Taiwanese
and some Koreans want to be the 51st state. That is the
power of super-profits, a reality. The solution is to attack
imperialism and support national struggles against it, not
open the doors to global intra-proletarian slaughter with
every bloodline opposing every other one as "imperialism."
"Tovarish Spetsnaz" is also providing you an
ideological basis, though he disagrees with you in
this thread. TS is supporting an attack on
Serbia's "mini-imperialism" in other threads here.
He abandoned Stalin on the national question in which
progressive national struggles are those which
weaken imperialism. Kim Il Sung and TS-type neo-Hoxhaites
have opened the floodgates for intra-proletarian slaughter.
Here is what Stalin said: "This does not mean, of
course, that the proletariat must support every
national movement, everywhere and always, in every
individual concrete case. It means that support
must be given to such national movements as tend
to weaken, to overthrow imperialism, and not to
strengthen and preserve it. Cases occur when the
national movements in certain oppressed countries
come into conflict with the interests of the
development of the proletarian movement. In such
cases support is, of course, entirely out of the
question."

Moscow, 1953), pp. 145-7.
Hopefully you agree Ixabert, that I$rael has reached
the last stage of capitalism, imperialism. The Jewish
people there have corporations and demonstrated ability
to have finance capital dominating, just as in the u$a,
France, England etc. There is nothing further that Jews
can get from capitalism. There is no semi-feudalism
to uproot and Jews are not exploited by foreign imperialists.
Imperialism only brings war and environmental devastation now.
That's why we insist that progressive national struggles
have to target imperialism.
The following comes from the Kim press:
Korean nation should be reunified without fail
Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- The 36th-37th issue of the Russian newspaper "Patriot" carried an article entitled "The demarcation line can not divide the people", written by Mikhail Zemskov, editor-in-chief of the paper, to mark the 49th founding anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The United States should be blamed for the division of one country into two on the Korean Peninsula, the article said, and went on: Though the DPRK suffered a big loss through the war imposed by the United States, it defended its sovereignty and dignity and has been turned into a powerful country with advanced industry and independent politics under the leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. The DPRK owes such achievements directly to President Kim Il Sung and Secretary Kim Jong Il and singlehearted unity is precisely the secret of vigorous advance of socialist Korea. Some time ago Secretary Kim Jong Il, who is creditably carrying forward President Kim Il Sung's idea for the country's reunification, published a famous work "Let Us Carry Out the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung's Instructions for National Reunification" to newly indicate solutions to the problems arising in the relations between the north and the south and the relations between the DPRK and the United States. Korea is the biggest divided nation as the United States refuses to withdraw its troops from south Korea. It is a wrong, unethical intention to divide people by the demarcation line and force them to forget their bloodline and ancestors, the article noted, adding that the Korean nation should be reunified without fail.
