Why against multipolarity despite many socialist state arise after ww1 and even more after ww2 end? I ask this question because I see many people in r/communism view multipolarity negatively.

    Rainer Shea is a good communist on Substack and I like hearing his opinions on occasion. They had a real clunker of an episode where they suggested Multipolarity is bad and that the class struggle is most important. No duh, but how do we get to a class struggle when so many countries are dominated by US/Euro hegemony and IMF loans along with insane debt and skyrocketing inflation due to Western sanctions on much of the 3rd world’s trading partners? Sorta seem like Anti-Imperialism (aka Multipolarity) is the only way forward to even getting to the class struggle IN THE FIRST PLACE in most of the world

        No, he’s just a book worshiper who doesn’t acknowledge his privilege. (He’s a white kid who hardly considers landback and thinks rage against the war machine is the most revolutionary thing of our time).

        Yes. He’ll deny it, but anyone who opposes decolonization is a fascist.

          Except that he doesn’t, he constantly states that he supports decolonization.

            He says that, but then argues for fascists like those from RATWM and denies that settler colonialism is the primary contradiction in burgerland. He’s a 2-faced snake, an actual redfash.

                Is your block quote supposed to be a quote of what I said somewhere? Because I didn’t say that. If you’re attempting to paraphrase me, the sentence is cut in a way that I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

      Multipolarity is bad and that the class struggle is most important.

      I’m struggling to understand takes like this. If we accept that imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, then surely the contradiction between colonizers and the colonized is the highest contradiction under imperialism. Anti-imperialism is class struggle.
