    but it’s still within the interests of the chinese state

    Obviously lmao. Why the hell would a country do something for no reason

    The more Africa develops with Chinese cooperation, the more China gets access to wealthier markets to sell stuff to that they have good relations with.

    These shitlibs will also go out of their way to defend this genocidal pig online instead of spending that time going out and organizing to take direct action.

    Buddy, national conservatism is the core component of fascism in a declining capitalist country, and inevitable under "social" liberalism.

    At the rate it's going, what's going to realistically stop fascism in europe again? There isn't a socialist force to counter it like the USSR did last time, and we have yet to see a socialist revolution succeed in a place where capitalism has firmly taken root.

    If anything, the neoliberal rot in former USSR since its overthrow seems to have put Russia in its own path to fascism. At least its interests are still aligned with the Global South I guess...
