You really just have to look at it through the oversimplified lens of the Marxist Linanist. If the West does it, it is bad. If anyone else does it, it is good. All the whining about reading theory, that is honestly as deep as it gets.

Capitalism, when the party does it is good actually. Suppression, imprisonment, and slaughter of the proletariat? If you did it in the name of the party, it's no vice.
