Yes. I agree with you completely.  The Russians have oppressed the Poles;
the US, Latin America; and China has ruthlessly exploited Tibet (we could
add Chinese exploitation of Xinjiang, as well).

This goes to prove in my view, that the large nation state, unchecked, is
one of the world's greatest evils.  I wonder why Pound did not take this to
be one of the lessons of World War One?

What did Pound say about Poland, by the way?  I cannot remember a quote, but
I feel reasonably sure he said something.  I know Pound was quite hostile
toward slavic culture (at least in its Russian manifestation, or "Rooshun,"
as he said).  Have you come across anything?

Regards,

Wei
