fighting against misogynistic druglords and apartheid is bad actually, dont'ya know?
i swear to god, the maoist to neocon pipeline is nonexistent, because oftentimes there never was a difference in the first place.
Apartheid was in southern Africa, not the horn. In the horn the USSR backed the derg, a genuinely fucky "socialist" regime, and its wars on its neighbors
U could use basically the same argument to support US imperialism in Afghanistan. "Fighting against misogynistic terrorists is bad, dont ya know?" Soviet intervention in Afghanistan wasnt bad cuz they were fighting the mujahideen, it was bad cuz they imposed a brutal occupation to prop up an already unpopular government, which never beat the mujahideen either and very likely made more ppl support them, just like the US occupation made more ppl support the taliban. This is all Americas fault for arming the mujahideen (baiting the soviets into war was their plan from the start, after all), yes, but the USSR wasnt good in this war either (idk if id actually call it "social-imperialism", but it wasnt good either way)
Calm down mate
