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?
Here's the view of one of our comrades in Iraq: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEC2ajsvr0I
The reality of the situation is that it's pretty much just the white western "left" that says this shit. And then within the white radlibs you have people making the claim that the global south are all against these AES Actually Existing Socialist countries.
This left are against everything that actually exists and only seem to support anything that failed. My opinion is that they're liberal virture-signalling culture translated leftwards. They are only interested in signalling their purity and goodness rather than actually supporting anything or achieving anything. They wear the left for aesthetics but not anything that might possibly even remotely result in dirtying themselves.
