The Western “left” just can never get it right it seems, they are always criticizing China etc. because they are not “perfect”. The Eurocentrism is also very evident.
Palestine is NOT the paramount moral issue of our time. Yes, it is awful but we have to keep things in perspective. The paramount moral issue of our time is the establishment of a counter-balance to the West so that its ability to sponsor such violence and subjugate nations is severely curtailed. Millions have been genocided in DR Congo by the Western-puppet Rwanda, a million died in Iraq at the hands of the West, more in Afghanistan, billions of people are kept down by the West in poverty.
Actually existing socialist and anti-imperialist nations have to use discretion in their actions, a reality that Lenin fully understood. China and Russia have more important issues to deal with, and it is not in their interests to be pulled into the Zionist quagmire. Sorry, but thats just reality. Utopian socialism is a dead end where real change goes to die.
From the discussion:
“We also highlight that it’s a huge red flag that Venezuela was basically blocked from entering BRICS and this was not just on Brazil, which became a scapegoat. Ultimately, holding alternative powers accountable is not about blaming them, but about demanding they live up to their professed principles because we believe there IS hope they can live up to them. Ending the genocide in Palestine is the paramount moral issue of our time, and if a new world order is to be genuinely different, it must start by taking a definitive stand there—otherwise what comes next may be much worse.”
Its not the job of BRICS (and BRINCISTAN) to end the Palestinian genocide. Its their job to build a counter-balance to Western power. Palestine, sadly, would be a very dangerous distraction from that goal.
