This. People first. Peoples right to self determination and democracy from top to bottom in society is paramount. As communists, that principle is absolute.
You’re acting like the Argentinian government is gonna massacre them the second power is transferred. Probably nothing would change but Argentina would get the profit from oil and tourism.
Like Argentinians are not on average wealthy people. The British people living on those islands probably have it way better than most of the people in Argentina. It’s kind of gross.
resource extraction near some town? And they’re not like colnized oppressed people they’re just some probably comfortable British people. They’re not in some anti-colonial struggle give me a break.
Idealist nonsense, says the person who wants to divide up all natural resources equally into amorphous national state boundaries regardless of the wishes of the people who live there, until all national states have equal populations, areas, and access to natural wealth?
You’re literally just spewing more idealist nonsense. You know that countries are a thing that still exist right? Either Argentina gets to benefit from the islands, or Britain (lmao) does. You’re saying the British should benefit because they colonized some islands hundreds of years ago and there’s a couple thousand people there. If there was 1 person living in the Falklands, would that justify oil and gas drilling and a British military outpost?
people who live in a place when they have not displaced a native population do matter more than a random government who are pursuing an imperial claim from their former imperial masters yes
Or maybe (radical, I know, wow), people matter equally, and we shouldn’t forcibly deport or integrate them into various countries due to arbitrary vibes?

You’re repeating rhetoric without considering context.
lol idealist nonsense. Argentinians would see more wealth from owning the islands than they do now.

yes, because people matter more than realpolitik shit
Apparently poor Argentinians who could benefit from social program funding don’t matter, but white British people living in a colonial outpost do.
