Bunch of idiots out there trying to pick their favorite capitalist state.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD STATE.

At best, you have transitionary ones run by MLs, which I get from a Marxist perspective, but those can go south real fucking fast too.

We’re the ones who suffer and die in war. Not the rich, not the capitalists, not the land lords. The workers are the ones fed into the macerator.

      I was told NATO was created entirely so the USA could have a secret club Russia wasn't invited to.

      Which is ironic because having a NATO Ally with a land border with China would be useful for the US

        Which is why I think a lot of RWers say that antagonizing Russia over the past 30 years was a geopolitical mistake. They're not anti-war, they just want it to be done on the right enemy.

          Yeah, I guess it would have been difficult to foresee China's rise 30 years ago. Maybe, It's something that only seems obvious in hindsight. Or maybe they were just high on their new world order shit and thought they were invincible. Either way watching libs cope is hilarious. I just wish it didn't come at the expense of people's lives.

            If I were the US 30 years ago, I'd probably invite Russia, even if I didn't foresee PRC rising. It's not like you're gonna lose anything anyway. If PRC liberalizes, good. If they don't, you can contain them with the help of a NATO ally.
