      the american left has forgotten how to be actually materially anti-imperialist

      What's an example of how to be actually materially anti-imperialist? Especially in the imperial core?

          Sorry if this is a silly question, but wouldn't then defending China to Americans online fall under that? In terms of like 'America wants to go to war with China, maybe we should try to convince people China isn't the almighty evil power'?

              Ah I see! I didn't realize you meant only posting about it on here, and not just generally on the Internet. that makes sense, thank you for explaining.

      It's why I think it's an op too. Like the contradictions are countless.

      Generally-speaking, Western leftists prioritize labor rights, privacy, LGBTQ rights, open dialogue, human rights, and anti-imperialism, among others. And China ranks like fucking ZERO out of ten on all of these.

      It just baffles me.

        I agree that China's government is lacking in many ways, but I also wouldn't take Western rankings at face value. They are made to push an agenda.
