    free kashmir to who? the Sadozai Kingdom or the Sikh empire? the only rational means to resolve conflict in Kashmir is dissolving both India & Pakistan and essentially then re-forming ethnicity based tribes. virtually everything in that region is essentially completely fake

    this is not really a helpful line of thought. though their is truth to what youre saying vis-a-vis "everything is made up", reforming nation-states along the reactionary lines of "ethnicity" is not a popular political project (nor would be ideal) whereas Kashmiri activists have been clear that a Kashmiri nation exists and is occupied by India and Pakistan.

    the Naxelites have been very clear that the solution to the "problem" of India is some sort of USSR-esque project to create a confederation of socialist nations (with respect to those who desire independence a la Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, etc.)

    I'm not really saying everything is completely made up - I don't think that. Borders themselves are somewhat arbitrary to a degree of course, but most of the time within those borders there is a coherency of habitation and history. For example the USSR had a pretty strong awareness of the creation of borders along ethnic lines because they very obviously were aware that historical ancestry is not fake. This is probably the biggest failing of post-colonial states by comparison, which is exactly what I'm saying. I'm more pointing this out in that tradition, because I see a lot of discussion online about these things and then hesitance about the conclusion.

    the borders of the soviet republics were based on a whole lot more than "ethnicity", a concept that hardly existed at the time. the state-backed decolonization of the former Russian empire was complex and took into consideration several factors such as geography, language, religion, local traditions, so on -- oftentimes creating new nations in the process. these borders were also very open and fluid and were revised several times throughout the existence of the USSR. like I get what youre saying but it was also much more complicated. the thrust of what youre saying is correct though, a new revolutionary "India" won't resemble the old one in the slightest. new socialist revolutions elsewhere will also challenge national borders, which have often become redundant due to the global nature of capitalism.

    I mean of course they didn't have the modern concept of "ethnicity" but they did functionally. Saying they took into consideration "geography, language, religion, local traditions" is just another means of saying that functionally - I understand this is not pedantically the case by terminology but the USSR did internally track and care about what we now would consider "ethnic groups". I of course don't know the exact word they would use in place of that since it wasn't english. Whether or not "geography, language, religion, local traditions" is genetically driven isn't really what I'm interested in discussing or saying, as I'm not as much trying to say that the USSR was trying to divide up regions by haplogroup or something (or that such should be done to South Asia).
    What I am saying though is functionally ethnicity (in terms of ancestral history, local tradition, and cultural affinity) is certainly a meaningful distinction to make when discussing nation, region, or tribe. Of course these things do not exist along "real" borders as defined on a map/globe, but the quasi-borders that exist in terms of group correlated to territory isn't completely meaningless. The idea that groups are independent of region is a very post-colonial driven concept (unless we get into ancient conquest/war/etc so at least in global capitalist society) and pointing this out makes many leftists (not saying yourself) uncomfortable.

    Thank you to everyone who has donated thus far to help us fight back against the unprecedented attack by the landlord lobby against tenants. We could not do this without your support.

    It is clear that the landlord cartel and their co-conspirators thought OTU would be intimidated by their baseless accusation that we engage in the Unlicensed Practice of Law, thinking we would simply bow down and agree to sign away the right of tenants to organize. They are sorely mistaken. In fact, we are emboldened by this attack! This cowardly move indicates that it is in fact the landlords who are afraid. They have merely vindicated the fact that our organizing has the ability to disrupt landlords’ misanthropic way of doing business, and that unionized tenants are capable of challenging the power landlords have over our lives. It is for this reason that they are doing everything they can to stop OTU and organized tenants.

    This is a losing battle for the landlord cartel. The landlords have their lawyers, but they do not have the people on their side. No matter how much power and money they have behind them, there will always be more of us than there are of them. It is tenants who hold the real power, because at the end of the day it is tenants who control landlords’ cash flow. And this fact can never be changed.

    We will be submitting our appeal to this bogus ruling very soon, and we will keep everyone updated on how the battle progresses.

    Thank you KMTV for the excellent coverage of our fight against the landlord cartel and their co-conspirators! Also big thanks to Attorney Kendra Freshee, who confirmed in this story what OTU and the tenants we organize have always known - we are innocent! OTU calls upon other attorneys of conscience to denounce this shameful weaponization of the UPL Commission and demand answers and transparency regarding whether or not the adverse party and prominent Enemy of the People Tara Holterhaus recused herself from the proceedings that led to this decision.

    We will not be intimidated by the desperate attempts by the landlord cartel to harass and bully us. OTU is confident we will not only win this battle, but come out stronger than ever.

    UPDATE + PRESS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

    On 4/29/25, our legal counsel submitted our formal appeal to the UPL Commission, disputing the bogus charges of Unlicensed Practice of Law brought before us. We will be hosting a press conference tomorrow, 5/1/25, at 2:00 PM on the steps of the Douglas County Courthouse. OTU and our counsel will be making statements and fielding questions from the media and public.

    We invite all supporters of OTU to attend the press conference and show the landlord cartel what side the citizens of Omaha are on. While we have a long road ahead, we remain confident we will ultimately prevail. It is an utter disgrace that the UPL Commission - built for the noble purpose of protecting people from being taken advantage of by swindlers and quacks - has allowed itself to be weaponized by the landlord cartel in this way. OTU consists of tenants just like you, who have put their sweat and tears into fighting with other tenants against unscrupulous landlords who would otherwise steal their money and allow their homes to fall into disrepair - all without ever having accepted a dime in compensation. We are motivated solely by an immense love for the broad masses of exploited peoples, and an unyielding hatred of those class enemies who grow wealthy off the misery of others. If the UPL Commission does not wish to defile its reputation and the rule of law, it will dismiss this investigation immediately, and provide clear answers regarding the role of the landlord cartel and its mercenary - Enemy of the People, Tara Holterhaus - in these proceedings. We hope to see you all tomorrow.

    It is good to be attacked by the enemy. We will not back down.

    TODAY OUR HOMES, TOMORROW THE WORLD

    TODAY THE COURTROOM, TOMORROW THE STREETS
