    I don’t know what kind of communism you think there is that doesn’t oppose western imperialism, support the Chinese socialist project, or applaud the damage that Russia has done to NATO. All of these positions materially improve the condition of the global working class.

    Like, what do you think communism is, if it isn’t opposition to the global system of capitalism that is destroying the world and murdering millions of people?

    And also, I hope you note that my language is precise. I say “oppose western imperialism,” not “hate everything about the west.” And “support Chinese socialism,” not “China can do no wrong.” And “applaud opposition to NATO,” not “I want to suck Putin’s dick.” Marxists are concerned with the nuances and complexities of material reality, we try to avoid emotionally reactive stances that try to sort the world into good vs evil.

      or applaud the damage that Russia has done to NATO

      Yeah, I don’t think I want to talk to anyone who applauds any wars. And you’re literally proving my point of being anti western garbage instead of workers unite communist.

        Alright so you don’t want to talk to people supporting Ukraine either, then? I figure you get mad when you watch Saving Private Ryan or Inglorious Bastards? People who speak positively of the Vietnamese in their fight against France, Japan, France and the US are right out the window? Same goes for the houthis, right? All communist guerillas, I suppose. And freedom fighters through the years.

          Or you obtuse or insane? Invaders are freedom fighters now?

          Next thing you’re gonna say is that Israel is right commiting the genocide? Crazy troll.

            What? Try to read what I actually wrote my guy. You dont want to applaud any wars, right? So I must assume youre not applauding Ukraine for fighting back. After all if they just didnt fight back, there wouldnt be a war. We don’t want to applaud people doing war. We don’t want to applaud war. It’s the war part, specifically, completely removed from context. Thats all that matters apparently.
