I’m going to say something controversial here but…
You shouldn’t be afraid to put your principles on hold, and take a couple steps backwards, as long as you’re still moving towards your goal.
The road is not straight, and there will not only be obstacles but also other players.
My interpretation of “capitalism shall provide the means to its own destruction” is that capitalism can be used to advance socialism. Nothing is off the table. You may use Capitalist ideals, capitalist technology, capitalist nations, capitalist allies, and capitalist modes of production.
Socialism must necessarily be rooted in capitalism for it to have a material basis, and in order for it to transition into communism. The movement must understand capitalism, engage with capitalism, and prove capitalism wrong through not words, not martyrdom, but results. And it must do this continuously.
Countries who don’t embrace socialism and seek to resolve its internal contradictions, will cannibalize itself. That extends to the US and Israel.
With that being said, China is not complicit in the Palestinian genocide because China cannot have any real effect on the situation.
It says a lot about the poster that they choose to criticize China than the US.
Especially considering that China’s goal is socialism by 2050, they have time to adjust, Xi is building productive forces and staying on top of corruption and poverty as much as he can and has done a great job with transportation infrastructure and education. That seems like a great start for their goals they set forth
There are hundreds of mass graves filled with the bodies of principled socialists who refused to ever compromise or surrender. Dozens of failed revolutions led by the most morally pure leadership they could’ve asked for. What benefits did they actually bring to their people? How did they ever actually further the cause of socialism by putting their own personal purity ahead of what was needed at the time? Nothing. Just another martyr for western ultras to get a hard on for.
