in the case of the former they define anyone who's strong enough to resist the empire as imperialist, because imperialism means "tanks crossing border" or "big country small country". so if you have the power to resist the empire and you do so, you're an imperialist. the only genuine leftists are people who are too weak to resist and therefore always lose, but maintain their virtue in defeat and can righteously complain about getting btfo by the imperialists.
for these guys being a leftist means being pure in defeat. And a leftist world is going to emerge once the left has achieved total purity so that it will be so undeniable that the empire will turn red-faced with embarrasment and will slink away in shame, at which point the righteous will take over and there won't be war anymore.
>>2429342i never considered assad leftist, but he was a secularist who wanted to hold the country together and was better than the alternatives (as should be undeniable now). and even though he eventually lost he fought and held out for a long time, which puts him far above all the other slave-minded collaborators in the region who went after him.
>>2429343>straw manthe unipolar order led by the US is a rabidly anti-communist global order, and nato is basically an anti-communist international. The unipolar order is effectively the order of communism vanquished and forbidden. The collapse of that order will not guarantee socialism, but it will make it possible again. A stance of neutrality toward the king and his opponents is effectively just support for the continued rule of the king.
>>2429357Naive. BRICS is not an equivalent of NATO+. It's an emerging and loosely held together economic partnership, with some shared economic goals but without shared foreign or military policy, and a lot of disagreements and divisions. NATO is a military alliance with a command structure led by the global hegemon. It systematically destabilizes and overthrows other countries and wages wars collectively to advance the unipolar order.
At present the unipolar order is under strain and in a bit of a panic, losing Ukraine will be a big blow to it, but it's trying to find compensation by taking over Syria, genociding the Palestinians to create Greater Israel, taking down Iran, capturing Armenia/Azerbaijan, etc. And it will never stop until all its opponents either submit or fall and the entire globe is absorbed into the unipolar order. They may well fail, but BRICS is not remotely comparable, not yet anyway.
>>2429333The meek shall inherit the earth as JC said. Which is to say, all I read is (mildly) repurposed Christianity.
But he also said: "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."
He was a complicated man, a man of many contrasts.
>>2429386I don't have to imagine, we're living in it right now. The dollar is still the world's reserve currency, oil prices are expressed in dollars, the world financial system is organized through American made or alligned monetary institutions like the IMF and the world bank which have a stranglehold over basically all developing economies in the world, americas military monopoly is still larger than the next top 10 countries combined, largest and most advanced military in world history and has spread itself through military bases and occupations all throughout the world
Other anon already explained why that's completely different than BRICS, which is an unstable loosely alligned economic agreement between a few countries, but you just handwaved that away because you're an actual fucking retard
>>2429245I think NAFO is just a counter troll movement astroturfed and based on actual ones after 2016, as well as mythical ones like Russia. It provided clarity after 2022 that Western soft power was integral and therefore the crisis of liberal democracy has nothing to do with foreign disinformation in the media heart of the world.
But like institutions and parties trying to hold international capitalism together, it became wildly divorced from the people living in the empire. And proxies like Ukraine/Taiwan/Israel. They have a pro Western zealotry that just doesn't reflect any of the populations they want to fight geopolitical battles for
It all points to how everyone who thought issues after 2008 were a matter of opposition to liberalization of the world has egg on their face. They're carrying water for a historical force reduced to eroding barriers to global capital, which has stake in anymore due to middle class decline at home and reactionary wars abroad. Why would younger generations of Westerners or modern Russia/China continue to support globalization as it unfolded after the cold war? Old bargains and compromises are failing
>>2429412We are in an interregnum. Insert gramsci quote. Gutierrez captured it well
>Nor do we have a unipolar world. We are moving to a multipolar world, but we are not there yet. We are in a purgatory of polarityhttps://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/united-nations-reform-biden-guterres-unga-speech-09242024115205.htmlFrom the perspective of the US and realists, who care about security, we live in a multipolar world. This means balance of power returned. But from a political economy perspective like ours the world remains unipolar. There's no basis for the international system except global capital, which is concentrated in a few advanced countries. In the rest of the world, the bourgeoisie is weak and nations rely heavily on state power and/or foreign capital. However, they have a growing share of world population and GDP thanks to the historic flow of capital from advanced countries
>>2429412retired US General Mark Milley is not the US. Some people in the US might say things like this, others wouldn't. Biden started talking about "an inflection point" (iow, his people were talking about that), which means the US establishment believes the unipolar order is under serious challenge right now, but I don't believe they think it's lost. They are working hard to reassert it. The two big hurdles are Russia and China, and they're unsure what to do. Some want to keep going hard at Russia in Ukraine and think eventually Russia's economy and political system could crack. Some think they should move on from Russia and pivot to China (come back to Russia later). But they are also trying to reassert in the Middle East and elsewhere, and having some success. And the challengers also have their difficulties. If the US succeeds in taking out Iran that would be a big blow. And it's trying hard to figure out ways to tank the economies of any disobedient actors.
As other anon said, the US still has global advantages over its challengers, there's not parity yet. The unipolar order is in crisis at the moment but it's not out nor given up.
>>2429438>fighting to preserve Socialismthat was the crime that needed to be punished/extinguished. no remnant of socialism can be allowed to survive in europe (or ultimately anywhere else either).
that is what US/NATO does, everywhere, always. It isn't what Russia does. It isn't what China does. The 'inter-imperialist' both-siders who can't see that can fuck right off.
