Try to keep all US election-posting here.
A lot of it is the western left's fetish for defeat, as Jones Manoel pointed out in that great article, and which Losurdo is really good at highlighting.
Another part is western chauvinism, that communist expertise must come from those in western europe or the US (who've never had any victories and so are talking out of turn), and that eastern communists / (insert whatever racialized term like hordes here) can't comprehend and apply Marxism.
Anarchists are the biggest offenders for both of those.
Another big part is the short-term mindset that's unable to see the bargain (ie the tradeoff of temporary low wage exploitation for long-term technology and expertise) , for what it really is: a long-term strategy to end colonialism, transfer control of production out of the hands of western capital, and a way out of the low-wage trap every global south nation is suffering under.
The Long Game and Its Contradictions is probably the best introduction to SWCC, and outlines what this strategy entails.
These CIA-planted stories used to have legs, but not anymore. No one except the alwaysthesamemap countries believes them.

Holy shit what is wrong with people.
Pokes the US with a stick
Cmon, balkanize already
Those dead civilians families really appreciate your vote for the 'lesser evil'.
Mandatory watching for those interested in the history of the conflict: How Palestine became colonized.
Podoliak isn’t the first high-ranking Ukrainian official to make derogatory remarks about Asian countries. In August, Aleksey Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, suggested that Asian people were less humane compared to Europeans, including Ukrainians. “I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity,” Danilov said. (RT)
When you've been killing gradeschoolers armed with rocks for years, anything else must seem like a super-soldier.
