NATO is an aggressive military alliance, whose purpose is to advance the hegemony of western capital.
Russia acts defensively, and did not ‘invade’ Crimea. Crimeans voted to rejoin Russia following a US-backed coup in Ukraine in collusion with neo-Nazis. Nor did Russia invade Georgia, or Syria. An EU court ruled that Georgia was responsible for what happened there, and in Syria, Russia intervened, (at request of the UN-recognised government), in order to prevent extremist sectarian groups from taking over a country on their doorstep. Ultimately all of this is a result of NATO expansion and aggression.
China is not a threat to peace - the US is.
The US is not a force for good in the world; it doesn’t care about your ‘freedom’, only about the freedom for western capitalists to profit. Millions killed in that pursuit.
China is developing in a FAR less violent, less inhumane manner, than western powers did. It is not as yet acting imperially on the world stage - it is not waging wars/installing puppet regimes, etc. And it is being FAR more environmentally responsible.
China is not a free market capitalist state. It's economy is centrally managed by a socialist government, and industry is about 50% government-owned. A mixed economy.
Venezuela has a democratically elected, social democratic government.
Western 'liberal' politicians frequently support far-right movements across Latin America and elsewhere.
Jeremy Corbyn was the closest the UK ever came to having a decent, anti-racist, uncorrupt, compassionate PM.
Assad isn’t ‘gassing his own people’. He and the majority of Syrians have been resisting a sectarian insurgency of 'rebel' groups ideologically similar to al Qaeda, who have been backed by the US/NATO and proxy states in the region, with $billions of support. This is nothing new - extremist jihadist groups have often been allies of the west. Support for the Mujahideen in Afghanistan in the 1980s, resulted in the formation of al Qaeda.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism
Israel is the aggressor. Palestine, the victim.
Hezbollah is an anti-imperialist resistance group.
We have a billionaire-run media, not a ‘free press’.
Julian Assange is in prison for exposing the corruption/criminality of the powerful; for doing real journalism.
The west does not care about international law. Western leaders instead talk of a 'rules based system', to appear as though they do.
The west has installed/supported fascists all around the world.
Africa is not poor - western capitalists/corporations steal its wealth.
The ‘Cold War’ was more like a war waged by the west against any progressive, anti-capitalist, independence movement for democracy. It was very hot for millions of people.
Capitalism is the opposite of democracy; it is the handing over of our lives and resources to a small clique, to be exploited for profit.
Barack Obama, like Trump, is extremely corrupt, and a war criminal.
The NHS is being intentionally destroyed and replaced with an insurance system.
Capitalism is keeping a billion+ people poor and undernourished, and is destroying the environment.
Humans are naturally good and cooperative, not greedy.
America was to blame for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The industrial food system is not just destructive to nature, our health, and farmer's livelihoods - it is also inefficient; Small farms take up just 25% of farmland, but feed 75% of the world's population.
Globalisation is destroying the planet, not keeping peace.
