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?

    Multipolarity is not the end goal but it is a pathway to socialism because it represents the dismantling of the West’s unipolar imperialist hegemony which has been the greatest obstacle and enemy of socialist movements since 1945. I strongly recommend that you read this: https://internationalmanifesto.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/through-pluripolarity-to-socialism-a-manifesto-final.pdf

    Also, Multipolarity is emerging whether we as communists like/want it or not, because it is the result of objective processes of development that have been occurring for the past half century.

    You cannot stop this process, and believe me the imperialists have tried very hard to do so by attempting to slow down, stop or even reverse the development of the global south.

    So it is a reality that we have to acknowledge and understand how to make the best use of in order to further our goals.
