    I would like Natalie to tell me which western country will support any newly socialist country.

    Of course we oppose them. These alternative enemies of the west will occasionally support socialist states.

      Does she even claim to be a socialist? She only ever talks about cultural issues and “deradicalization.” I appreciate her for having been an important part of my process of learning about politics several years ago, but she barely talks about anything economic ever.

        She never did. She flirted with more radical left positions pre-transition, when she was struggling financially - a wonder why. But when she gained social acceptance when she approached a more social acceptable form of gender expression and financial “stability” she quickly discarded the community that embraced her. Its a perfect exemplary case of the opportunist streak amongst the left.

        Not to my knowledge but the point stands. Do not be surprised that the socialists oppose the countries that are our greatest enemies while being strategically supportive of reactionary countries that aren’t our outright opponents.
