Thank you for being so transparent about this.

“Figthing an empire is imperialist” is quite the take on all of this.

Yeah, remember when the British Empire and French Empire were both non-imperialisticically colonizing Africa because both were fighting the other empire for control over the continent? You can tell because when they were gunning unarmed people down with machine guns they said they were afraid those people would be sympathetic to the other empire, which meant they were fighting the other empire.

When two empires fight using imperial domains as pawns, both are imperialistic, not neither. The US is using Israel as an imperial forward base and Iran is using Hamas as imperial auxiliaries. The US is claiming Cuba and Venezuela as imperial sphere of influence (Monroe Doctrine) and China is supplying them as imperial forward bases.

That is not to say one empire can’t be less wrong than the other in a specific conflict. The US is less bad than China in Taiwan and China is less bad than the US in Cuba. Worming your way out from under an empire often means strategically allying with another empire, and for my corner of the world I’m glad US hegemony is collapsing; Maybe the planet won’t become uninhabitable after all.

They’re all the same comment, it’s Markup that adds breaks between paragraphs when quoting.

The second paragraph implies the US is justified in attacking Iran and Venezuela because China is “pulling strings”, which is imperialistic. Even with delivering weapons to Gaza, Egypt, and Lebanon, this exists in the context of the US seeking to cripple the middle east’s ability to defend against colonial genocide by Israel because Israel is a forward base of US empire.

Cuba displayed the capability to be a threat when the USSR set up Nuclear Weapons there many decades ago, and the same family is leading Cuba now as back then with the same alliances to the eastern bloc. China and Russia expanding borders again shows that they are willing to escalate again, pushing the world closer to war.

The proxy war is in full effect right now with the USA pushing down on Iran and Venezuela as reactions to China pulling strings in those countries to empower Maduro and to funnel weapons from Iran to Gaza, Lebanon, and Egypt.

The best thing for Cubans right now is to turn away from the will of China and Russia, to foster good relations with the USA like the many other nations in the Americas have, so that normal trade relations can happen and their people can prosper.

Honestly, it’s fair that they would ban you from their spaces for simping for US imperialism this hard. In the anarchist collectives I frequent we would do the same.
