    Seeing some conflation of “country (or, nation-state)” and “nation” in the comments. They aren’t necessarily the same thing.

    Black Panther leader Huey Newton on whether the US constitutes as a nation. Scroll down to “Raectionary Intercommunalism.”

    Also, philosophically, what defines legitimacy? It’s hard to argue against the fact that over time, the US has developed its own culture and languages to an extent. If that’s the case, should communists view the domestic US population as part of a US “nation” or as a multicultural colonized population composed of various subclasses?

    I’m not drawing a strong opinion either way. I definitely don’t think I’m qualified to. Just wanna raise the question for others to discuss
