ive been told every time that i even offer light pushback on criticsm against socialist countries in the global south that these are imperialist countries that commit atrocities and im being a total hypocrite by 'supporting' them and that most socialists in global south actually oppose and hate these countries.
is this just bad-faith liberal bullshit? how would one even respond to that?
They like to point at the few groups that do but the overwhelming majority support them. Maoists are typically the biggest sect in the GS that hate China and other states
Yeah I know the Maoist’s in the Philippines do not like China I suppose for legitimate reasons. But I do feel like libs are only using them to feel justified in “China bad” discourse. I guess I wanted to come here for a more nuanced and honest answer. Thanks.
I would call getting shot with their bullets a legitimate reason lol.
It's a good reminder that states are a double edged sword. They can help protect you, but they work on their own logic independent from "what does the movement need right now?"
