The United States’ treatment of its own indigenous peoples and working class shows all too clearly that trading Danish imperialism’s supremacy in the Danish Realm for American supremacy is not an alternative or “good deal” for the people of Greenland. It’s like going from the frying pan into the fire. The Trump administration has hypocrisy tried for a long time to exploit the opposition to Danish imperialism in Greenland for its own benefit. The Danish government is puffing itself up morally, but they have sold a people and their country to the US before. They are hoping for a deal with Trump where Denmark and the EU can keep a piece of the pie. Whether it’s open or secret negotiations of buying and selling between Danish, Greenlandic and American politicians, it’s an insult to the Greenlandic people, who is not for sale. The Greenlandic working class, youth and people’s demand for independence and the right to determine their own future – is and will remain a fight against all imperialism. This is what Greenland’s security ultimately depends on – increased military presence from Denmark, USA, EU and NATO means the opposite and is a dangerous way. We reject the nationalistic claims that Greenland cannot manage independence. That the country is too poor, too underdeveloped and the population too uneducated. This is an expression of colonialist thinking, arrogance and racism.
