You should support everything that is anti-west even if whatever the argument is is contradictory as there's contradiction in everything. Not because you're a brainwashed tankie but taking more nuanced and detailed positions makes you better than the slava ukraini liberal.

Chinese leaders still write at length about Marxism and how I see it becoming a socialist country or even a communist country is incredibly difficult in the face of powerful countries that also know this playbook and want to destroy you for it. Its not enough or even practical to press the socialism button because in real life with countries that absolutely hate you and make it their mission to subjugate and exploit you, it doesn't work.

We're currently seeing a socialist government who still writes, reads and acknowledges Marx and is taking the means of production from greedy Capitalist who overplayed their hand. The US doesnt make anything anybody wants anymore and appears to be in the beginning of a dying empire. The hope is that China rises from those ashes and follows through with socialism.
