This is why I tell people Ukraine is the real barometer for whether or not you're a leftist or a radlib.
Palestine is a barometer for people that have a heart. Ukraine is a barometer for people that have a brain.
China is a good one too, though Ukraine is indeed better
China is a barometer for someone having ever read a book. Any socialist who reads about Chinese history would end up sympathetic to the CPC or at least greatly prefer them over any of the alternatives. Genuine socialists who oppose China are simply ignorant. I can’t accept that the human brain can sustain the cognitive dissonance required to be an anti-China socialist.
Russia/Ukraine, Iran and DPRK are the three big litmus tests right now, IMHO. And by Iran, I mean supporting the "regime" as it is (critically of course), not just cheering for them because Trump Bad.
China support is already becoming "acceptable in polite society" just like supporting Palestine now is, at least among the young people, see for example the extremely liberal-individualist trend of China-maxxing. Still ways to go but the people are generally warming up to it.
