Why against multipolarity (lemmy.world)

Why against multipolarity despite many socialist state arise after ww1 and even more after ww2 end? I ask this question because I see many people in r/communism view multipolarity negatively.

Since multipolarity today depends on PRC not making moves to become yet another hegemon, it also depends on one's position on China.

You may have a point in who leans in which direction, in that comrades that have been organised for some time have a bias against China, but that's not a clever value judgement. Since older comrades lean this way, and the leadership are older in many parties, unions etc, it makes sense that this bias would be made official policy.

It might read like I'm devaluing it calling it bias, and that's exactly what I am because that's all that it is. I say this having talked to many of them and seen the clear contradiction in the party policy. Old leftists are quite often parroting anticommunist tropes re China, such as no freeze peach, no free thought, or direct quote ”They run people over with tanks over there." These people aren't stupid, they just come from a time when China didn't respond to western misinformation.
