That's not right. If anything, the problem would be that they support aggressive authoritarian regimes or that they're more anti-west than communist.
You confuse not supporting America's hostile actions against foreign countries with supporting the actions by those governments.
The alternative stance, supporting hostile action against, China, Cuba, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, etc because they're "authoritarian" is not materially different from the most blood thirsty ghoul who supports hostility because they believe they are inferior people whose labor and resources should be subjugated by the west.
Presumably you're a liberal who understands Iraq and Libya are not a better places today because we "liberated" them from their authoritarian regime, and maybe you see through zionists who argue in bad faith that we can't support Palestine because the struggle for LGBT+ rights hasn't advanced as much, but maybe you've noticed a pattern that 1. being subjected to western media and education, you get a wildly distorted perspective of places America intends hostile action, and 2. Supporting hostile action against "the regime" from the west just means hostile action against those people. An Iranian might protest and organize to advance their struggle, the US starving and/or bombing them does not help them.
All aggressive authoritarian regimes are bad and we should support none of them. The only reasonable side is against all of them.
You can't stay still on a moving train. Your opposition to the west's enemies, from within the west, is literally just supporting imperialism.
Are you saying the Lemmy devs don't openly support aggressive, authoritarian regimes, like Russia?
other than the main one , are the other ones "far left"
You could just peruse their history.
Still waiting on that answer...
Not doing this, go justify imperialism somewhere else.
Just so we're clear, you're outright lying.
I can show you Desellines explicitly supporting Russia against Ukraine.
So the real question is why are you lying?
Yes, opposing the US puppet, or more likely, opposing the US prolonging the war and human syffering, because like every other case of the last 75, the US is the greater evil.
The real question is why I bother responding to this bad faith horseshit.
Why are you just inventing versions of what Dessalines said?
Tankies gonna tankie, I guess.
