True true, and their ‘justifications’ for war are entirely bogus. But I just caution against over-correcting. Just because someone is an enemy of the US doesn’t mean they’re perfect. Or even good.

Yes it does. Relative to the US they are good. The primary contradiction in the world right now is US imperialism. If you are talking about an enemy of the US in the context of anything the US is doing, they are the good guys. Anything less is apologism.

Nah. Being attacked by evil doesn’t make you good. You’ve got to stop with this black-and-white thinking.

Yeah there isn’t a nation-state on earth that is a friend to the working class.

There are several socialist countries. What do you mean by “friend to the working classes” if not socialism?

State capitalism is not socialism, and it is not a friend of the working class.

“State capitalism” is not a thing

Sure buddy, sure. Take it this way, then: Socialism is when the workers are in control of the means of production. Supposedly, socialist countries accomplish this by the state being in control of the means of production and the workers supposedly in control of the state. But in reality, the workers are not in control of the state, so the workers are not in control of the means of production, and it’s not socialism.
