@Typo-MAGAshiv how deeply do you understand the ideologies and intentions at play in each case? This comes off as superficial normie mainstream narrative, deliberately constructed to get the believer biased and working against his own interests. Chinese, forced to clean up the mess of decades of Opium trade that benefitted the British Empire to their detriment?

Soviets, aiming to regain control of their Empire from the Oligarch interests that played both sides of WWI and helped establish and finance the Bolsheviks? The USSR were Socialist in name only, and in practice acted opposite of Socialist concepts and ideals.

Oligarch interests played both sides of WWII also. Take General Motors and Ford, whose factories built both American and German War vehicles and aircraft engines. Henry Ford got a settlement for over a million dollars for allied bombing damage to his German factories, but had Germany won, Ford AG would have continued as a "Pure" German going concern. The word Socialist got incorporated into the Nazi party name, against Hitlers wishes, as a ruse to draw Left Wing Germans into the fledgling party, not out of intention to rule by Left ideology or practices once in charge. A

Same propaganda tailoring at work in today's major conflicts. Iran got co opted in 1953 by Western petro Oligarchs and brutally oppressed the people for their enrichment. The Revolution in 1979, the first geopolitical event I was aware of, were the heroes not the villains as American ideology tried to instill in me.

The so called Ukraine war got kicked off by Western Oligarch interests intent on taking control of Russia's vast resources. They sponsored Banderists, a brutal and oppressive lot. Then, they tailored a Left coded Support the victimized Ukrainians fighting for their independence and liberty from evil Russia to Left leaning Westerners, to well meaning dumbfucks who obligingly putthe Ukrainian flagin their social media posts, and a Right coded Stop Putin from expanding the resurrected corpse of Communism West across Europe and the USA to cohorts like my Fox watching Boomer Mom who couldn't define Communism beyond a string of pejoratives, much less differentiate it from Socialism if a 6 figure reward got offered for accurately doing so.

IDK how seriously you take these topics, beyond a snappy one liner, then a mic drop and act too bored with the discussion to continue it as if this makes a decisive personal and comprehensive ideological victory for the ages.
