    I'm guessing you don't live in one of the many countries that is gradually escaping Western Hegemony thanks to the Belt & Road breaking the global North's ecnomic stranglehold and BRICS bringing us all back to a multi-polar world.

    What we're seeing in the Sahel wouldn't be happening in a monopolar world. Will those countries become socialist? China certainly isn't forcing, demanding or asking it of them because the whole point is to create a global environment where they can choose for themselves.

      i'm from bangladesh (if the flag next to my name, the fact that i mod c/bangladesh, called myself a "shahbagi" and talked about bangladesh multiple times in this website didn't make it obvious enough). while it's true that yunus had ties with the clintons; and that BNP (they're relevant because they're the most likely party to win the next elections in 2026, due to being the 2nd most popular party after the former BAL) historically had ties with the US, that doesn't mean i'm a westerner; if that's what you were trying to imply.

      not every leftist who immediately doesn't start praising china is a westerner or pro-west.

      is BD trying to escape western hegemony or is BD pulled back into it? i can't tell yet. but given the situation i wouldn't be surprised if the latter happened. not that i'm unhappy that hasina's gone though.

      this is assuming the west doesn't try to launch a counterattack on the sahel states like they did with chile when allende was ELECTED INTO OFFICE DEMOCRATICALLY BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE. or funded reactionaries to slaughter millions of indonesian communists (jakarta method).

      the west doesn't give a shit if their own countries are slowly deteriorating, for them they must keep their influence on the world no matter what, and prevent any countries from trying to unshackle themselves and embrace socialism (which idk if any countries want to at this point, people seem more interested to be succdems instead at best. guess all the western backed anti-socialist movements have caused people to become demoralized and think of socialism as a failed ideology).
