Straight forward question. Been trying to gauge the man’s politics and I think he leans more toward being an anti-colonial nationalist rather than an outright socialist. Still based and deserving of critical support, but maybe not the next Thomas Sankara; not that he needs to be, but it’d be cooler if he was.
Yes, but being a nationalist in this way is on par with socialist principles. People’s nationalism instead of symbolic nationalism that domesticates the masses towards a bourgeois goal.
