    When a non-imperialist country is fighting an imperialist country, in the global south no less, how is this not weakening the imperialist position? Further, why are you using working class as a pejorative? This is similar rhetoric to Orwell, who thought the working classes were too stupid to think for themselves and was thus promoted in western education.

          I literally just explained that they are working together to extract as much as possible from the working classes through endless war profiteering. It’s not complicated. Step 1) Collect taxes and sell bonds. 2) Start bullshit war. 3) Use tax and bond proceeds to buy weapons from the businesses you own. 4) Profit and repeat. … end result is tax payers are shafted and oligarchs are wealthier than ever. What don’t you understand?

          China is fighting US imperialism. They are doing it at home mostly through economic and industrial policy. You see the difference?

            You didn’t explain how the US and Russia are working together. You kinda just stated it, without backing any of that up. The US isn’t profiteering from the war, but from imperialism, ie export of capital. The war is what cements imperialism. Russia fighting the US in this context, and is benefitting from it. This does not mean they are working together, Russia is weakening the US’s position in Africa. China is taking a noninterventionist approach that is also helping.

              Mate. If you don’t understand what I just told you then there is nothing I can do. I don’t know how to explain it any clearer and it seems to me that you are choosing not to understand.

            China? The country that supplies a shitload of Russia’s materiel? In what world are they not accomplices to the kayfabe business of Big Antiimperialism you seem to believe is a subsidiary of imperialism?
