    What you mentioned is the biggest rift between comrades in the global south vs those in the global north. We have different sets of values in the global south that the global north doesn’t agree with. Religion being a big one.

    For now we can agree on anti-imperialism as a uniting cause but I can see us breaking off from there if that goal is ever achieved

    I do think that we can eventually improve in certain areas like lgbt and abortion issues as our quality of life improves. It’s hard to educate a population on those things with the medical and education sectors being as shitty as they are. This obviously differs depending on the country with some being better than others.

      Well said. I’d leave issues regarding such values to be discussed by those actually living in that society, rather than impose my own differing ones on them and judge them that way. Chauvinist liberals love calling out Iran as “Islamist fundamentalists” or whatever when all that does is distract the fact that they do broadly represent the values of the people they lead and their actions are primarily weakening the empire, it’s sort of the same thing but going the other way.
