    China is ruled by a communist party and position themselves as allies to left-wing governments around the world. They are clearly and explicitly left-wing.

    Russia isn’t left-wing, but they use they are acting like fascist and committing genocide-adjacent acts in the name of anti-genocidal anti-fascism, the rhetoric that the original commenter parodied

      You do the same failure as many other people. To call yourself left or right doesn’t make you left or right. Even the german nazi party NSDAP called thereselfs nationalSOZIALISTISCHE ARBEITERpartei Deutschlands and there some idiots who believe nazis are left. Of course there are not.

      China isn’t a left country cause they doesn’t act like a left country. They have a system called state capitalism, they discriminate minorities and they cause inequality. All this is the opposite of left (the only clearly defined factor of left is the believe that every person is borned equal).

      And russia claims that they fight against facists and is nevertheless facist itself, while their enemys are not. People, partys and even states can lie. Thats an improtant lesson.
