To be fair, a lot of leftists are pro-nationalism, so it’s not inconsistent for them to demand hundreds of nationalistic ethnostates for indigenous populations. It’s a sad state of affairs
FYI, most “land back” campaigns are more about stewardship than possession. That is to say: there’s no interest in kicking families out of their homes, but instead about managing the land and resources.
That’s the thing though - “managing the land and resources” is effectively in many ways amounts to ownership of the means of production, and that “most” is doing a lot of legwork too. I find the whole concept problematic and I don’t like that this obvious legal victory is being tied to this by leftists here.
I’m just trying to point you in the direction to educate yourself. You’ve got a certain “vibe” towards the concept. I’m giving you an alternate vibe to consider, but I have lived somewhere that ‘land back’ actually happened, and that’s where I came by my vibe.
Read ‘seeing like a state’ and tell me indigenous land management in the americas was worse than what we have now.
I want the means of production producing and sustainable, and ideally egalitarian. This serms like the most politically viable way to do that. Therefore: landback.

Yeah, I guess I didn’t know that nationalism of all things would be something I’d see leftists defending.
