Youssef Bouchi writes on the importance of American socialism from his perspective as an Arab immigrant in Canada:

“Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this […] Our task from the outside is to support them.”

    Borders exist in law. Not in our physical space. We are going to change the laws. I find it incredibly optimistic to believe the borders will exist as they are after a socialist revolution.

      Borders physically exist. There are police who will arrest or even shoot at those who cross them in the wrong way. “After a socialist revolution” is so vague as to be meaningless. Yeah, if you establish Utopia tomorrow there will be no borders. Can we get back to talking about the real world?

        Again, that’s very optimistic. More likely it’ll devolve into civil war first, with different borders drawn for each little fiefdom. Whether this goes well or horribly, I wouldn’t count on borders staying as they are drawn.
