In very simple terms the nation-state is a state where one the state is tied to one nationality which then is the dominant one in that country, as opposed to for example multinational-state where statehood isn't tied to one nationality and where one doesn't dominate the other. For example European countries like Germany fit much more neatly into the category of a nation-state than American countries where the identity of those countries isn't so much tied to being ethnic to the land, for obvious reasons

The concept of the nation-state being seen as the default and even the inevitable shape that a nation can take means that the existence of more than one nationality in a state means that there inevitably is gonna be a dynamic of one nation dominating the other.

Now one could also say that the problem is more so that nationality is based on tribes instead of nationality, but that's kind of a circular argument and those lines become blurry when you have ethnic groups that are tied to another state's identity living within the borders of another countries like Somalis in Ethiopia and Kenya, or Hutus in the Congo.

There is a problem with the stupidpol types reasoning of not focusing on race in order to focus more on class oppression, especially when class oppression has been so racialized in the contexts they're making those arguments in, but in African countries where oppression and domination of one ethnic group by another has not just gone in one direction as in the US, but has gone in all directions over the course of time with the rise and fall of countless amounts of kingdoms/governments and smaller tribes it becomes more true when people are more focused on retaliation over past grievances than finding a way forward that will actually benefit their people instead of dividing themselves in the face of imperialist exploitation.

Like tribal conflict is so much the focus of politics in Ethiopia that class issues are not even part of the conversation, when a Tigrayan peasant identifies more with the Tigrayan elite who collaborates with imperialist powers then there is really no shot at class solidarity. People are more worried about what Amhara monarchs in the 19th century did against Oromos, as if that's gonna stop H&M sweatshops from exploiting people from both tribes

He was lioned but sometimes he had purist/ultraleft vibes going on similar to Maoists, for example when he criticized Fidel Castro's basketball technique:

“In his frequent basketball matches, Fidel has started using a new move he simply calls ‘The Step.’ It is undeniably effective, yet is its goodness equally undeniable? As revolutionaries we must not merely pay attention to ends, but to means. I worry that this flash and pomp is not befitting of the revolutionary leader. It serves to separate him too much from those caught in the chains of a maudlin life, marred by oppression and economic strife. Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit?”

Gregg Popovich: As a symbol, Castro was undeniably great, representing hope and freedom to many Latin Americans who resented the United States’ hegemony in the region and how it was attained through economic and political machinations that paid infinitely more attention to American interests than Latin lives. However, Castro was not a symbol, but a man and as a man, he has much to answer for. His invention of the Euro Step means that his legacy will always be tied up with that of the NBA’s, but thankfully, this innovation is far less ambiguous than perhaps any other aspect of his legacy. Whatever else may be said about him, he changed the game.
