Blue magas are funding genocide and their shills will only complain about about red maga

NATOpedia says "nearly 400 military interventions" for the US, listing this as the source.

China's is likely referring to the Korean war or the Vietnam war. So it should probably be 2 ig, though for Korea China was firmly on the right side of history.

Do you think this is because the leadership is magically nicer for some reason, or because their political/economic system is better able to stay out of conflict?

Though I guess this is who some of these videos are for. Well meaning (I hope) liberals who are still on the fence about socialism for some reason.

Just as capitalist states are "authoritarian" against working class interests, socialist states are "authoritarian" against capitalist interests.

The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.

Public perception of which is more "authoritarian" therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR's overthrow.

It's defense because the US military industrial complex is "defending" its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won't affect them, but that they can profit off of

It very much is. The campus protests and the crackdown on them are common in both, and Hamas and the Palestinian resistance also mirror the Viet Cong in both their tactics — using tunnels, taking hostages, guerilla warfare — and their goal of driving out the occupation and reuniting their country.
