          I forget what I read that convinced me of it initially but I don't think cornel west is a good faith actor at all. Wrecker/grifter shit all around, and I don't have much more faith in any of the people that promoted him

            Cornel West

            8 Jan 2011

            Ronald Reagan was a freedom fighter in terms of supporting our Jewish bros & sis in the Soviet Union & opposing vicious forms of communism.

      It's not like PSL's platform is at odds with the Greens in any way.

      The greens are not ready to be pro-China. However, they should still do it.

        Is PSL even strictly "pro-China" tho? Of course they have critical support for them as a multi-polar force and are very opposed to escalating tensions with them since PSL is anti-war. But I would imagine that the party still has its criticisms of Dengism in a purely ideological sense.

          We have criticisms of the height of the Dengist era's backsliding and corruption, but fundamentally the Dengist program has proven correct, and the Xi era has been a demonstrable commitment to the socialist project. There's no point in purely ideological critiques - we need a materialist analysis.
