I am a Marxist in China
Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).
The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it's Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, "the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist."
In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.
I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?
如果你希望中国的马克思主义不要秉持阳和平的极左翼，那你会找到的，而且很多。但是那与我这样的失败者、垃圾、卢瑟，那就无关了，每当我对着这些“马克思主义者”说“中国有很多无产阶级过的很不好，他们处于长期的习得性无助中，他们工时经常9小时、甚至十小时以上，月工资只有3000人民币（400$）”。
这些“马克思主义者”只会回答我：“那你为什么不怪美国”、“那你为什么不在自己身上找找原因”、“那你为什么上学时不努力读书学习”，我承认他们说的对，我学习的马克思主义都是浪费时间，只有社会垃圾才会去当极左翼
绷不住了。您这"赛博祥林嫂"的卖惨演技真是登峰造极，鲁迅看了都得连夜从课本里爬出来给您颁个奥斯卡。一边疯狂喊着要死要活，一边敲键盘赚流量，阿Q的精神胜利法在您这儿都算保守的，窦娥都没您这么会加戏，六月飞雪都没您这出悲情大戏排场足。汨罗江的粽子都给您包好了，您看是清蒸还是红烧？建议直接去横店出道，别光说不练啊，别在键盘上委屈了您这奥斯卡级别的才华。
