Supporting national liberation, or a "self-determination" devoid of a specific class content of that determination, i.e. a program that includes expropriation of the privatized, now and future, means of production, is ultimately meaningless.
Not really. The Comintern backed the Kuomintang in its struggle for national liberation even though it was a bourgeois-led movement. Nor did it require such litmus tests for the Irish or any other nation suffering from direct or indirect colonial rule. If the choice is between US corporate control of Iraqi oil and bourgeois nationalist control, we support the latter.
