From To kill a nation: the attack on Yugoslavia by Michael Parenti

Visiting Belgrade after the bombings of 1999, I saw graffiti all over the city denouncing NATO, the United States, and Bill Clinton in the most bitter terms. “NATO” was repeatedly represented with the “N” in the form of a swastika. More than once I saw “Free Texas” sprayed across walls. As one citizen explained, Texas is heavily populated by Mexicans or persons of Mexican descent, many of whom suffer more serious cultural discrimination and economic adversity than did Kosovo Albanians. Should not Yugoslavia and other nations do whatever they can to make Texas into a separate polity for oppressed Mexicans? The same logic applied to the “Free Corsica” graffiti sprayed across the French cultural center, gutted during the NATO bombings, along with the US and British cultural centers, by outraged Yugoslavs.

How would you make a FREE TEXAS meme? Something that can be transposed into different settings. Is there any recognizable color revolution template where FREE TEXAS would fit?

Ironically enough, a website called "Expose Charlie's Murderers" was put up to document people who are “supporting political violence online.”

Charlie Kirk was supporting political violence online.

Socialism will never work because it’s founded on emancipation, and you can’t force people to emancipate themselves. That would be the opposite of emancipation.

I’m not sure if this is a quote, I can’t remember where I heard it.

"Emancipation" in this case meaning emancipation from wage slavery.

I figured I'd ask here since you comrades know history and are on talking terms with reality, unlike a lot of stuff that is available to read online. I am really looking for a short answer, although I know there were many factors playing out over a long long time. Just the bullet points, if you please.

Edit: Thank you for these awesome answers, a lot of exactly what I was looking for and a lot of new directions to explore. Y'all really are the dope-ass bear B-)

I don't mean in an intellectual or logical sense.
