Ok, so if I'm understanding this correctly, you're supportive of the actions of countries that oppress their own people (e.g. Russia's anti-LGBT+ laws, China's oppression of Uyghurs and Tibetans, etc.), aggressively invade other countries (as Russia is doing in Ukraine, as China sort of did with Hong Kong's semi-independence and is threatening to do to Taiwan, not to mention their enforcement of their claims in Vietnamese and Filipino waters), without being supportive of the countries themselves. Because you think that those countries causing harm to the western world is likely to eventually lead to the west doing less harm to the developing world, and/or help accelerate the proletarian revolution in western countries?

Is that a fair (in content, if not in tone) assessment of your stance?

I wouldn't say that's a fair assessment of my comment, plus I very specifically did not give my stance as my goal was to dispell the myth that any Marxists approve of the Russian Federation's Capitalism, ultranationalism, reactionary social views, etc. I don't want to give my personal stance here, as

  1. That would take far too long for a simple Lemmy thread to convey with any real complexity, and

  2. What I personally believe doesn't matter here, it wouldn't lead to productive conversation to begin with as Marxism is not a monolith (which was the central point of my last paragraph)

Ok, I guess you're a lost cause then. Your comments in this thread had me almost thinking I was speaking to someone reasonable, but nope...just typical tankie bullshit.
