Personally, I fail to see why many Marxist-Leninists support multipolarity. The primary goal of the Leninist movements has always been “workers of the world unite!” and not “non-US-aligned countries unite!”.
To be clear, in saying this, I am not endorsing US-led unipolarity. I am just saying that multipolarity is not inherently good as some MLs suggest. For example, the world in 1914 and 1939 were without a doubt multipolar, and those both resulted in brutal world wars which killed millions.
Could somebody explain why people support multipolarity so much?
Exactly. Our goal should be world socialist revolution, not capitalist multipolarity.
To reach that world socialist revolution, there is a process that has to be taken in order for that to happen. Lots of comrades here have shared good answers to explain that throughout this thread.
Just as I described for Russia, the same is true for the rest of the countries in the global south. In a multipolar world, their interests are directly aligned with their mutual development and fair trade. This is a far cry to what the west offered through imperialism which exploited the global south.
Please, don’t dismiss the comrades that have eloquently explained why it is important to have a multipolar world first to jump to socialist world revolution.
I am not being dismissive.
That is unquestionably the end-goal. But you can’t always skip ahead, directly to the end-goal. Sometimes you even have to seemingly go backwards to get there. Take for instance China’s reform and opening up.
