[Marxism] Kosova and the right of nations to self-determination | Links

[glparramatta]

You are misreading (or willingingly distorting) what Mike says. He is 
saying that the right of national self-determination also applies to 
nations oppressed  by non-imperialist oppressor nations e.g. East Timor, 
Western Sahara, Eritrea, West Papua, Aceh, Darfuris, Southern Sudanese 
etc. It seems you are incapable of a reasoned, sensible non-sectarian 
discussion. Oddly, others who behave the way you do would be chucked off 
the list quick smart.
