Yes, progressive states like Russia and North Korea.
You are stanning for a military dictatorship that's been disappearing protesters and journalists.
They were kicked out of the African Union for being a repressive military dictatorship.
I'm not "stanning" anything, I'm supporting a progressive national liberation movement against imperialism. French and Australian imperialists are working overtime to smear and depict the Sahel States in as negative a light as possible, when these countries are trying to regain sovereignty over their own industry and resources. National liberation against imperialism is progressive, but western chauvanists will cry and bleat, just like they did with the Haitian revolution, Algerian revolution, Burkina Faso's revolution under Sankara, the Cuban revolution, Korean revolution, Chinese revolution, Vietnamese revolution, Nicaraguan revolution, and countless others.
Every accusation of yours is a confession, you're complaining about a popular movement to nationalize industry at great personal cost in the short term. If the gov just wanted to profit, they would work with the imperialists, and live as compradors, rather than facing sanctions from the west for exerting sovereignty.
Read How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney and stop being a far-right chauvanist.
