None of that idealistic fantasy about siding with the people we like or don’t like.
Also, I didn’t quite pay attention to this part in my previous reply.
This is an incredibly silly sentence. We are not arguing that the PRC should have sided with the ‘people the PRC liked’ as opposed to the ‘people the PRC didn’t like’. We are arguing about the PRC acting against the interests of the working class of the world while, I would argue, hurting itself in the long term (if you destroy your allies for the benefit of your enemy, you end up in a worse position - that is how politics work in the real world, and none of that wishy-washy ‘everything the PRC does is good and has the interests of the working class in mind’).
