                Okay. What gives a group of people the right to have self-determination? The right to form their own country?

                Fiji is a country aligned with the West, I think. Does Fiji have a right to exist? Under what circumstances would Fiji have the right to exist? I want to understand the criteria

                  I did specify “in its current form” (meaning economically and politically, not statehood itself) for the West in general. Im a staunch defender of self-determination of nations, but self-determination doesn’t include the oppresion and exploitation of other nations.

                  Korea being a split nation the only rightfull outcome is unifying the North and South, and obviously i prefer unifying them under the socialist North, rather than the imperialist South.

                    You said all Western countries don’t have the right to exist.

                    Fiji is a Western country.

                    Are you now saying Fiji has a right to exist?

                    Is your position that all countries have a right to exist but not a right to influence other countries?

                    I’m trying to understand the philosophy behind your statements please help me
