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?

    Socialism as it stands is almost always done through violence, yes. But that’s primarily due to circumstances outside of anyone’s control, I.E. surrounded by imperialist/capitalist powers in a hypercapitalist world.

    Theoretically, in a world with no imperialist superpowers, there would be less of a threat for countries to become socialist.
