This review of Startrek Resurrection is priceless:

But MIM rejects the universal moralizing of Insurrection. Forced relocations can be to the benefit of the people being moved, as when Stalin internally deported Jews in the Soviet Union to move them away from the advancing German troops. MIM would rather see Jews moved to undesirable locations within the USSR than worked into disease in concentration camps and then gassed or shot. We also generally oppose the fiction that liberation will come from a segment of the conquering army.

While it is true that occupying troops are often won over by the strength and correctness of an Indigenous liberation struggle, the officers of an occupying force tend not to be the leaders of any liberation struggle. In truth, the strength of the people’s will can win over segments of the opposition, but this will must originate with the people who liberate themselves.
