Because I can't tell whether:
we should just critically support them only for their role in inducing multipolarity and anti-imperialism, a la Russia, due to their shitty domestic politics
or
we must support them further in depth, for their inherently socialist and progressive politics, like Burkina Faso under Sankara, and modern day China.
This is not to say I won't at least give critical support to this nation.
P.S. If you can, could you answer same question about its modern allies, current Mali and Burkina Faso.
I guess I must be extremely mistakened, to think anti-colonial sentiment implies beyond that, an strong ideological sentiment.
Reminds me of how trade-unionism is not necessarily social democracy, in the classical sense...
