Yeah I don't get why people support those fighting against genocide

You mean the country that the US killed 20% of the population and destroyed all infrastructure of? Then proceeded to sanction to hell because it dared to not be capitalist and allow the US's capitalist class to extract from it?
Every day the US regime — the most warmongering nation in the world that's currently committing a genocide in Palestine right now — survives is a crime against humanity. What has the DPRK done other than trying to survive under the brutal US sanctions that does nothing but harm its working class population?
"What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost."
The GDR called western govs' habit of pinkwashing their imperialism — only possible because non-imperial core countries are the victims of colonialism are thus less economically stable, which is generally correlated with LGBT rights — the "political misuse of homosexuals" and had started improving LGBT rights and protections in the 80s.
If the Soviet bloc wasn't overthrown afterwards, I'm sure the rest of the Soviet states would've followed suit. Probably part of why Cuba did so too.
The USSR would've simply directly funded and/or militarily supported Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. And they did do so with with the PFLP until the USSR was overthrown.
Though ig two superpowers militarily supporting opposide sides has the risk of just turning the place into a warzone like what happened with Afghanistan.
The only people who would make an entire community about shitting on leftists are conservatives, liberals or closet liberals
