And I don't care about perfect movements; better to have tried than not. The only reason AES states are celebrated at all is because they continue to exist. I'd love some actual examples of how they continue to "smother" other organizations. Show me some AEA locations/movements/orgs that have successfully resisted, at the very least, western imperialist influence. And yes I am going to celebrate China moving nearly ¾bil out of poverty, if you're refusing to appreciate the small wins of AES, then you don't really care about material improvements to peoples lives.
