    I've never understood this particular western leftist perspective, where they act like US unipoliarity is somehow a good thing for global socialism, despite the last 30 years being the worst time for socialism globally in a century.

    It's strange, its almost like they defend US and western hegemony for an entirely different reason. 🤔

      "I know the time of US dominance have reduced leftist movements to obscurity and resulted in the worst liberalization and monopolisation, but we must keep doing thingss that keep the US in power and screwing us"

      unipolarity is obviously bad but a lot of people act like brics is doing something it isn't wrt socialism and the expansion is probably diluting the chances of it being the "fuck the USA" club that we dream of. china is obviously not in this to turn saudi into a DPRA.

      multipolarity will come as the power of the empire declines and the empire will lash out so the blurb isn't totally wrong there either, but that's on the imperialists not the people opposing them. Like how revolution comes at a cost, except these nation-states aren't exactly a cadre of maoist guerillas.

      rising socialism will come after the capitalist warring.

      A part of me wonders if it’s just paranoia of being bombed. Maybe they feel if they piss the US off too much then they’ll be next on the chopping block.
