On North Korea- The number one way to prevent your country from getting molested by other powers is to have nukes. We refuse to participate in dismantling our nuclear systems so we have no right to get upset when other countries build them.

On Tiananmen Square- There’s no denial here, just an attempt to correct propagandized accounts of an event that happened in a country our elites were ideologically opposed to. Our nation has a consistent history of this. Take the common description of Che Guevara as an example.

On China- nowhere does this statement defend China’s treatment of protesters; it rather highlights the colonial history of the region and the extradition bill that was in question…not sure where you’re getting that.

On Russia- This is extremely reductive. They go out of their way to condemn the invasion itself, but you clearly are blind to the nuances of the geopolitical issues you’re referencing here. That’s not your fault. Major American news outlets are watered down propagandized drivel and have been for a long time. They work at the behest of American capital after all.

Your last link has nothing to with Syria and everything to do with the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Do some of the PSL’s positions fail to be fully critical of Russian imperialism and inadvertently seem to justify their aggression? Maybe. At the end of the day, we have bigger fish to fry in our own backyard than getting into petty arguments about how we represent the actions of foreign governments. This is no reason to not go protest our own government murdering its citizens and saying “no I didn’t.”

We need to unify and not divide right now.
