When does a regime become so reactionary and fascistic that critical support for it isn’t justified? Obviously I’m not saying that this applies to countries like Iran, Russia, and the former Syrian Arab Republic (among others), but when do the negatives outweigh the positives of supporting said country against foreign aggression/western imperialism? Thanks!
Well said. Things are always in motion. The dynamic that Mao spoke of with the Kuomintang comes to mind. If I understand right, there was a point where they had some shared interests with communist liberation efforts, due to them also wanting to get rid of the imperialist yoke of the time. But once that issue was taken care of, they became an obstacle to liberation. I think similar applies to a lot of countries involved in today’s global anti-imperialism struggle. Western imperialism is the primary contradiction. But underneath that is still a lot of class stratification locally, even when a country is not aligned with the empire.
