My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I’m inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I’ve found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.
Idk. I’m conflicted with Russia, ofc I can never forgive the capitalists for what they did to USSR, but still they aren’t as evil as the US. What is the general ML take on this country?
In that vein, Why does Lemmygrad often support Russia against Ukraine? That’s a conflict I admit ignorance to so I would like to learn about it
