    I’m not disagreeing with you, but I don’t think pro-chinese, pro-russian or anti-western propaganda is helping.

      Me neither, hence the joke

      (Maybe each first letter reads “held gunpoint at propaganda factory, send help”)

      Its not anti-Western its anti- extreme capitalism. Why cant we even discuss it? Is there a spectre over the shoulder of capitalism? Something to hide?

      How is anti Western something bad? They are the ones who have been bullying the rest of the world for the past 200 years and continue to want to do so, not to take it to xenophobic levels but anti ststus quo is necessary if you want a multi polar world.

          I think this could fall into what Mao called “leftist” adventurism, and I do believe that in the context of international and national levels there are situations where the national bourgeoisie takes a revolutionary role, such as it is the case of, for example, Bolivia or Venezuela, where the lack of a scientific Marxist socialism leads to, in some form or another, the national bourgeoisie to be in the power. Still, in the geopolitical game, they play a revolutionary role as the material conditions are not set for a true people’s movement due to the West interventionist policies (coups and installments of fascists regimes in Latin America, and so on). I am not saying that in this way they would be liberated from the exploitation, but it would be one dialectical step further into true emancipation from the ruling classes.
