Really? Are you saying that socialism will automatically eliminate national inequalities? Isn't this on a par with saying that racism will best be dealt with "after the revolution"?

Or perhaps you're saying that "socialism" isn't really socialism until it eliminates national inequalities and racism, but that begs the question.
