Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

A multipolar world will have less ability to crush leftist governments without consequence. This isn't the solution to capitalism, but it weakens it. This is a domino, not the final blow.

I guess it weakens capitalism very slightly. Although I might not argue that capitalist multi-polarity is worth cost of the war (Russia cracking down harder domestically, Ukrainian fascism on the rise, privatization, etc...). But in the end it doesn't really matter who I support as I can't create any sort of meaningful change to the material world.

Anything that weakens capitalism is good, comrade, particularly if it's capitalists on both sides doing it. It's a terrible tragedy that lives are lost but we can't stop that.
