To me, this seems to be a critique of the self described “anti-imperialists” that are incredibly married to the concept of multi-polarity as a force for good and are over eager about other states challenging US hegemony. If I’m putting on my maoist hat, this is a somewhat valid critique, which I can see examples of in other replies. The decline of the current center of imperialism will intensify the competition between imperialist powers and is not a total victory for the international proletariat because while there may be less interference from the US there will now be more imperial powers for their comprador governments sell them out to. Also I think we underestimate the ability of big transnational corporations to adapt to a world where the US influence has declined.
Pretty much the only people who cry about multipolarity are Yanks and people mentally colonized by Yanks. Even Western Europeans don’t cry about it as much as them.
europeans were talking about it for years until shit really kicked off in ukraine and they instantly went running back to the us.
Maybe some westoids should camp more instead of going in and write guilt OPed 20years later
Tell them that stating a fact and taking sides are two different things.
We are moving to a multipolar world if we are not already in it.
This is the most frustrating part about trying to discuss this subject in good faith. Whether or not I think a multipolar world order is a good thing is so much less interesting of a conversation than how the world might change in response to that reality.
okay so to understand camp you kind of have to go back to Beau Brummel
Please, Prince Phillipe mastered camp a century earlier while literally in a military camp.
I only take complaints seriously when they come from people from the global south. I couldn’t care about what some lanyard says on his way to kiss Biden’s feet
Essentially its another way to say “Neither Washington nor Moscow/Beijing”, its an accusation that supporters of multipolarism are just supporting another imperialist faction rather than working from a proletarian and revolutionary political analysis.
And that a multipolar world will not be a progressive advancement for the working class or the socialist revolution because the new poles are of the same fundamental character as the old unipolar world, basically.
“The new poles” :poland-cool:
I would just say that yeah, I am in a camp and that’s the camp of fucking hating Amerikkka. Death to America, and critical support to anyone fighting the great satan. Multipolarity does not mean the victory of socialism, but it is the condition under which new advances might be possible.
I’ve only heard that term from anarcho-natoists or whatever and nothing they espouse ever passes the “cui bono?” sniff test
Any weaking of the american hegomony is good Russia or China whould not coup your goverment if you elect a socialist.
a multipolar world whould give the global south more options and not just be forced with exploitive realtions with the West.
To be honest I think they’re just outsmarting themselves with labels.
