Even if you don't support China or believe it's socialist, in a time when the US is firing up its anti-Chinese propaganda machine and the world is hurdling towards a cold war, exactly what ends are you serving by repeating State Department talking points?

Part of being a materialist is understanding that you don't act in a vacuum, and that the narratives exist within the context of class warfare and imperial domination. Its irresponsible especially for someone in the imperial core to give ideological cover for the US' war machine.

You don't have to be an ML to recognize that China's balkanization would be an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, and making that happen that is US policy.
