This is an incongruous formula for someone who accepts the theory of
permanent revolution. I would put it this way: Unless the national
revolution goes forward to socialist revolution, the nationalist
bourgeoisie has no choice but to expel or exterminate settler
populations, if it is to assert even the most limited national
sovereignty.

You accept this nationalist program, while I would oppose it, because
the program of expulsion is the nationalist bourgeois _alternative_ to
socialism.
