Would these western leftists...

Yes. The western left loves the communists who were crushed.

You would hear "Stalin would have built a much better nation than Mao did." Just like you hear about Trotsky.

One day I hope to see a map of Chinese flags around the US, but instead of military bases it's just Chinese built infrastructure.

It needs a name. I think Gabe the Dragon suits it.

I've never understood how you could actually effect sparrow populations in rural China. I used to consider it one of the L's of communism until I thought about the logistics of it.

You might be able to drive birds out of a densely populated city with a bit of effort, but Mao-era rural China? What?

So much talk about "understanding Marx" and yet they somehow miss the entire concept of Material Conditions.

Marx sure as hell didn't think we'd see full communism spring out of an agrarian Russia in a couple of decades.

I'll add that the word comes from "Ultra Left."

Exactly this. He's already acknowledged China has no interest in the current set of demands.

Exactly right. They push a cynical and loveless socialism that has disunity baked into it.

The people they are pandering to aren't being won over. Their beliefs are being reinforced when they see that even the lefties can be bigots.

"It's unclear" can be translated to "I'm not listening."

I'm not aware of any statements from the NZ government on the election. I doubt most of the countries in red have seen any reason to comment on it either.

This map is a copy+paste west vs. east.

This article is written in the premise that these "mistakes" are any action that causes the US to take a hostile action. Presumably the ideal strategy would be to tiptoe around the US and never act counter to it's agenda.

It's the tune of an imperialist. The empire has only one direction and if you get hurt standing in its way it's your own fault. Let's not mention the likelihood that you'll get hurt anyway.
