    No, the “west” isn’t. The global bourgeoisie wealthy are. Russia and China are each arming and committing genocide. It’s not an east west thing. East/West is a divide and conquer tactic to keep you from solidarity with those that would be allies and brothers.

      Did you read your own words? So, the west isn’t… but Russia and China is…? Such a colonial lecturing mindset if I may say.

      So how are ordinary chinese more complicit than you? You both pay taxes which fund the wrongdoing. Furthermore, we don’t live in a control freak state with no civil rights like them. At least we can denounce what our governments do.

      I hope we agree in that point. It doesn’t make arming genocide any better if it’s committed by our allies. Thanks to that today is more dangerous than even the Cold War.

        I never denied the issues with countries often aligned with the western sphere of influence. Up above I specifically stated otherwise.

        I brought up Russia and China specifically to point out it’s not a “west” thing. So keep the baseless tankie colonial mindset accusations to yourself.

        My entire last sentence is literally about solidarity with Russian/Chinese citizens. Just not their government or ours.

          It’s not only ‘an issue’, as you say. Is giving the weapons, the technology and intel to comit genocide. History will remember China for committing genocide, and the West for arming a much bloodier one.
