The post-Cold War #campism, on the other hand, would be just support for a random collection of states opposing the Western hegemony.

From this perspective, the Cold War #campism would be just support for the expansionist policies and military interventions of the Soviet Union and its satellite states—support for some kind of counter-interventionism aimed at deterrence against the #capitalist West.

Your posture reveals a deeply authoritarian bent, one inherited from statist dictatorships and reinforced by anti-political habits of geopolitical thinking. It claims to oppose domination while reproducing domination at the level of interpretation, denying agency to the oppressed whenever it disrupts your comfort. This amounts to a catastrophic theoretical failure. A critique of imperialism that refuses to analyze non-Western authoritarianism becomes analytically incoherent. It reproduces the state-centric logic it claims to oppose, mistaking opposition to U.S. power for emancipation itself. Violence becomes excusable when it is rhetorically anti-Western. Resistance becomes romanticized without reference to its social content. Domination becomes tolerable so long as it wears the correct ideological costume. Your so-called anti-imperialism then functions as an identity that polices discourse, disciplines dissent, and forecloses solidarity across inconvenient lines. The result is orthodoxy.

If you genuinely oppose genocide, authoritarianism, and oppression in all their forms, abandon the childish comfort of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." That slogan amounts to abdication. It sacrifices principle for alignment, coherence for convenience, and real human beings for the illusion of geopolitical clarity. A Left that cannot stand with the oppressed has already forfeited its claim to emancipation.

Worldwide lefties abandon the people of #Iran. Offensive solidarity with the #Hamas, but staying calm, when the #MullahRegime is killing 20.000 protesters during 2days? #Campism of the worst

What a wild take... Campism is truly the lowest form of political analysis. If Iranians succeed in overthrowing the ayatollah we should consider that a positive development.
