    For all of BE's edginess and pretensions, he doesn't really stray that far from what your average Anglo leftist believes. Palestine good, Cuba good, Vietnam good, China lesser evil, US bad, NATO bad. He has slightly better than NATO simps and cruise missile socialists, but that is undone by his general unhinged personality.

    Like all Anglo leftists, he defaults to the position that multipolarity isn't better but merely different from unipolarity even though virtually everyone living in the Global South knows this to be completely untrue and a self-serving statement made by people living within the imperial core.

    At the end of the day, he's just some Aussie living in a Latin American country where all the Nazis fled to, and that will affect his politics.

      You would hope the average us "leftist" believes that China is the lesser evil and that NATO bad unequivocally but
