Can there be progressive national struggles after the dissolution of the colonial system and the counter-revolution in the USSR?
An easy answer would be to simply point out thte palestian struggle. However besides the just side of the war from the side of the palestinian resistance
We can point out that the international attitudes towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be classified into four main categories, that have antagonistic intrests that can be assimilited in the intra-imperialist struggles. First, the open supporters of Israel —the US, UK, NATO member states and leading EU powers (France, Germany)— who politically, militarily and economically support the Israeli state, the Euro-Atlantic axis. Second, the powerful capitalist states of the emerging Eurasian alliance, mainly Russia and China, which maintain a cautious stance, promoting the creation of an independent Palestinian state and a peaceful solution, but aiming to strengthen their own geopolitical and economic interests. Third, regional powers in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, which sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash with the US and Israel, selectively supporting the Palestinians when it serves their interests. Saudi Arabia has suspended rapprochement with Israel, Turkey is reconsidering energy projects with Tel Aviv, while Egypt is concerned about refugee flows and the strengthening of Hamas. Finally, states such as Iran, Lebanon (through Hezbollah) and Syria are more directly involved, supporting the Palestinian resistance and maintaining an open conflict with Israel, making a generalized conflagration in the region possible.
It is obvious that the palestinian struggle does mot aim at socialist revolution but the formation of a state in general. That is necessary. However, can we say that it is progressive if the national struggle is not conmected with the social struggle? Can national indipendence even be achieved without socialism?

Most importantly, these delusiona conceal the eurasian imperialist camp that is begining to take form.
For example, the kicking out of french imperialism from the sahel zone is
