After the revolution (or even before if possible), we should immediately create autonomous regions (ARs) based on the traditional territory of all native groups. This will include but not be limited to current reservations, even if those reservations are located outside of their traditional homeland (such as those in Oklahoma).

These ARs will be able to make their own laws that apply to everyone in their territory, including non-natives. They will have their own elected governments, control of their natural resources, and have their own official languages. The current US Congress will be abolished and replaced by a Council of the Union (elected based on population) and a Council of Nationalities. Both will have to approve all national laws by a majority vote. Large native nations will have 8 representatives, medium-sized ones will have 3, and small ones will have one. There will also be a large number of representatives for the New Afrikan and Chicano nations and a smaller number for other oppressed nationalities within the former USA such as Arabs and Asians.

All ARs will be able to declare independence by a majority vote from all adults of their native nation, including members living outside the AR or abroad. They will also be able to merge with other ARs if they choose to do so. Overseas colonies such as Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and others will immediately become independent after the revolution (besides “American” Samoa which will go straight back to Samoa) and may choose to stay independent or join with each other or other countries.

    A lot of whites will voluntarily leave like how hundreds of thousands left South Africa after apartheid ended. I’m fine with deporting capitalists or racists back to Europe, and the natives would probably also encourage some white workers to emigrate.

    The leaders of the regions should have to be from the local native nation. In majority native regions like Navajo Nation, I think it’s safe to give equal voting rights for the legislature (although reactionary individuals should’t be able to vote). For other regions, a majority of seats should be reserved for natives and whites can still vote on the rest or you could have two houses with one for everyone and one only for natives.

      I don’t think South Africa is really comparable. The peak white population of SA was 22.7%, and that was in 1911. In 1986 it was 17.3%. White South Africans left because in an equal system, they were the minority.

      The (non-Hispanic) white population of the US is 57.84%. In a truly equal society, they would still be the majority. You aren’t going to see 100,000,000+ whites who are a few hundred years removed from Europe just up and leave.

      Even if the white population went down as much as it did in SA from its peak to today, 15pp, whites would still be the plurality. But again, they wouldn’t really have a reason to leave.

      The leaders of the regions should have to be from the local native nation. For other regions, a majority of seats should be reserved for natives and whites can still vote on the rest or you could have two houses with one for everyone and one only for natives.

      That’s an ethnostate.

      Again, I don’t know how to resolve it, and I’m not opposed to some form of decolonization, but an ethnostate ain’t it.
