Bourgeois media is so out-of-touch they think this portrays China negatively

“nobody wants to be the richest man in China” at a time when its government is turning more assertively socialist

Can we stop trying to make electoralism work already? A capitalist system will never let real leftists come to power even if they win; they wouldn't allow people to vote if it did.

Organizing and applying pressure from outside it for a revolution is and has always been the only way. Liberals will align with fascists long before ever moving left, as they always have.

Idk, bombing an embassy is a pretty shitty thing to do

What a truly odd "coincidence" huh

there are fascists in Ukraine, like in a lot of countries

Most countries don't have a fascist government that violently suppresses the left. Israel and Ukraine are about the only ones (and maybe Modi's India to an extent?) right now.

It's not about a "right" to invade. The point is this was the only option left with a coup gov that doesn't care about prior peace agreements, kills people for resisting (like Eastern Ukrainians in DPR & LPR and Crimeans), and is being blocked by the US and UK from negotiating.

Ukraine was very much at peace with Russia as it always had been before the 2014 coup and the resulting fascist gov that didn't care about such agreements.

China hasn’t committed to any steps to address American concerns, arguing that its cheap solar panels and other green products are helping the world wage the costly battle against climate change.

Based. Pay no attention to the shit the US government says.

Except Saudi and Jordan

Those governments have to somewhat keep up the appearance of opposing israel/US because their populations strongly support Palestine.
