          That sounds interesting.

          I also thought about comprador shark tank, where it's compradors pitching their resources to American corps, "we have this thing called lithium"... "Alright we will give you 5 bucks and a bunch of weapons to murder peasants for a 99% stake"

            Grim. But with the potential for a prime time audience. And it'll give something for trump to do if he loses the election.

              Very grim... I just want people to understand the concept of a comprador. But I am being arrogant as the pople negatively impacted by compradors and compradors themselves already know what they are.

      Bro, boris is not a commie at all. He showed up in breakthrough news and ranted about how Russian army gonna collapse in 3 days just like Russian and EU libs. Only KPRF is a valid commie party in Russia and no, they are not controlled opposition. Controlled opposition is Republican Party in US and the EU leftists (mainstream) in Europe.

          The "controlled opposition " term was coined by liberal press of EU/US to negate any credibility of Putin's government while their cute opposition leaders all support genocide in Gaza and war in Ukraine (one way or the other ). All the Western "opposition" Are sock puppets of military industrial complex. If there is any original "opposition " It is in Asiatic countries whom liberal outlets don't give a sh**. 2nd , whether what should be done in KPRF it's no business of westerners . Westerners should clearly focus on their side of things instead of poking the commies or leftists of empire targeted countries.

            "what should be done in KPRF it’s no business of westerners"

            Yes, but denying that Zuganov is a revisionist and controlled opposition is right-deviationist

              Zyganov supported Chinese policies along before Putin showed good relations with china. If Zyganov praising Deng Xiaoping and calling for socialist transformation through peaceful means (when the conditions are wrong for revolution) then I don't see it as capitulation. Regarding capitalists in Kprf , China also did the same in during 1990s until Xi came to power and curb the capitalists. I am not saying they don't have errors and mistakes. Every commie party has because that's what makes them political parties but we have to understand through contradictions in our era.

          Yes, but still they portray India as a holy country to counter china's development in an 'authoritarian' state.

            India's always been portrayed in the west as a "holy country" as far back as the 1960s

            They like to portray it as a "democracy" despite the fascist violence towards certain tribes/castes and Muslims

                China wasn't an important rival of the US back in the 1960s.
                In fact that's when the Sino-Soviet split started happening

                  sino soviet split happened due to ideological problems and intolerance towards various philosophical aspects of Marxism , like Stalin tito split happened due to market oriented socialism in the initial years of Yugoslavia which Stalin rejected , similarly chinese side were more aggressive towards fundamental issues of class struggle in which soviet sought out a holistic picture of the world . Soviets worked with Indians (centrists at that time) , Nasser and others where Mao sought out fierce ideological dogmatic positions in 3 world theory and labeling Soviets as social imperialism when Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia . Though it doesn't matter much nowadays , Soviets are gone and China has gone through tremendous change , from Deng reforms , corruption , markets , businesses , SEZ , low wages to standard wages to innovation and then high tech development .

                    anyway, my point is that the "holy" image of India in western culture is as old as the 1960s, woodstock, hippies, and has little to do with libs "pushing that image"
