Personally, I fail to see why many Marxist-Leninists support multipolarity. The primary goal of the Leninist movements has always been "workers of the world unite!" and not "non-US-aligned countries unite!".

To be clear, in saying this, I am not endorsing US-led unipolarity. I am just saying that multipolarity is not inherently good as some MLs suggest. For example, the world in 1914 and 1939 were without a doubt multipolar, and those both resulted in brutal world wars which killed millions.

Could somebody explain why people support multipolarity so much?

When two sides are equally strong they have more chance to be forced to discuss and each side to do some concessions. That's the appeal of multipolarity

  1. Unipolar American hegemony has been and continues to be a catastrophe.
  2. Multipolarity seems like the only achievable state of things that is not American unipolarity.

Multipolar is so much more acceptable to the media than "Death to the Yankees" or "Frack the US", but they are synonyms.

Ever heard of the concept of labor aristocracy? Western workers are getting paid like 11x as much as nonwestern ones. Its in their class interest to keep western hegemony. They are our enemies.

The global working class is outside the usa empire, not inside. "Workers of the world unite" is pretty much exactly the same as "Nonwestern people unite"

Replacing class struggle with national struggle is not going to better our movement. Western workers are still exploited and as proletarians (which is defined by their relations to the means of production, not their income level), their class interests remains in socialism.

Western workers' class interest is NOT socialism, their class interest is getting a bigger share of the imperial loot.

The only way to change this is to free all of the colonies of the usa empire. This way, the western bourgeois can't continue buying off the local workers

Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

1419 readers
1 users here now

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.
