    France's imperial ambition to be independent of the US should be viewed as a useful tool of bourgeoise division and working with France should be seen as keeping it from falling entirely into vassalisation under US imperial control.

      France was financing Brazil's nuclear submarine program (before the 2016 coup). Which pissed the US off, now France is financing it again under Lula da Silva (again, probably bc Macron really fucking hates Bolsonaro and prefers Lula), lol.

        Right, exactly. And in the context of a clash between capitalism and communism I'd rather have several opportunist bourgeoise factions representing multiple imperial projects rather than one imperial dominion under the United States.

        Working with the weaker imperial projects on safe things that do not threaten socialism is ok. Working with the US is not.
