      Russia is capitalist, but doesn’t have the immense imperialist infrastructure to plunder the world that the west has. China isn’t imperialist, nor is BRI. China doesn’t loot and plunder the global south like the west does, there’s mutual development.

      When you say “the people wanted X,” and I showed how that was not at all consistent, you then try to minimize that there was not a consensus at all as I pointed out.

      Russia is indeed not communist, nor is Ukraine, but the western imperialists provoked the war and are carving up Ukraine for it. I don’t believe everything Russia says, and I don’t believe everything Ukraine says. I even gave you a mountain of western sources backing up my points.

      Palestine isn’t communist but I support them too. Me being a communist helps me analyze why this conflict is happening in the first place without just reducing everything to a battle of good vs evil like right-wingers do. Again, as I showed, my analysis is the most common communist analysis, you dehumanizing me and calling me a bot or a shill just because you can’t actually accept that communists disagree with your pro-western, pro-NATO viewpoint is absurd.
