I believe that anti-imperialism is definitely important, but are there any cases where that crosses the line?
Say for example a fascist government. Now, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were imperialist powers so it made 100% sense to oppose them. But take the Taliban, an extremely reactionary government that opposed the USA. Or India, ruled by a far-right nationalist party that is a member of BRICS. Or pretty much any other fascistic and/or genocidal government that opposes imperialism while not being imperialist themselves.
Now, I’m not saying we should support the imperialists, but are there cases where we should also not support the ones fighting the imperialists?
The reason why I say no is because I believe in self-governance. Afghanistan has a better chance at self-governance without the largest military force on Earth present. Is it ideal to have the fucking Taliban in power? Of course not, but in time things can change and lead to a different outcome, that can’t happen with Imperialist forces present. I agree that Iran has some bad policies for women, but that’s infinitely better than a U.S. puppet in charge that gives away natural resources for pennies on the dollar. I could go on and on, but essentially yea, these people are worth supporting, critically of course. To do so without criticism would be undialectic and literally just ignoring issues that should be addressed at a later date.
