    Is bad empanada not a ML? I thought he was.

    He seems to have an impressive ability to be hated by absolutely everyone.

        I thought so, but the way you phrased this seems to be implying I don’t? Do you want to elaborate?

          China passed the United States UN resolution to disarm the Palestinian resistance, basically reversing their stance and rewarding Israel for 2 years of genocide.

          This goes very much against Marxist-Leninism. But many online “lefties” have bound their definition of ML to China, and short-circuited when being confronted with China supporting imperialism. They say “read theory” when theory clearly disproves their position.

            I see, so he’s not criticizing MLs as a whole, just the large number that don’t follow their own principles. That makes a bit more sense.

            However, from my perspective I’ve hardly ever met any that seemed to have consistent principles. The only core idea seemed to be whatever China does is good. So it’s a bit interesting that Palestine is finally able to break the illusion for some people. Kinda the same for a lot of former supporters of the west. I guess seeing the brutality so clearly makes it harder to swallow the lies we’re inundated with.

              Yes the amount of actual anti-imperialists who don’t just oppose genocide becuase it conveniently aligns with their national interests are steadily getting filtered out. We had a great moment recently with all the American surpremacists supporting Graham Platner doing mass murder in Iraq, and now all the China supporters. I was very pleasantly surprised by TheGrayZone condemning the resolution though.

            Bullshit. I’ve never heard any Marxist-Leninist support Chinese imperialism, nor unwilling to criticize China. They just don’t play along with made up propaganda like the west’s narratives on Tiananmen Square nor the Uyghur radicalization.

              So you’re saying the person at the top in the post screenshot is not ML?

              Also, why am I banned from Lemmygrad?

                Don’t know. They’re not making the claim you’re accusing them of, so it doesn’t matter either way.
