How do you explain the US wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan?
The US population elected a president who was promising to end the Afghanistan War in 2008. That war ended in 2021. That’s at least 12 years of war against the wishes of the majority.
Good question. For most of those years (goes for both wars) they just straight up lied about how bad things were going. Then there’s the propaganda. Holy hell, so much propaganda. Like not saying you’re wrong by asking that question but there are ways of selling unpopular wars.
Added to this, capitalists fucking LOVE wars. And without breaking capitalism all they’re really going to do about the majority coming out against war is say ‘yeah, what the fuck are you gonna do about it then?’
The question itself is ridiculously reductive. Let’s also not forget how China has ongoing border disputes with pretty much every neighbor that occasionally flare up, is expanding its reach in the South China Sea with artificial islands that serve as military outposts, is building up a massive navy and is in the process of modernizing its army.

Wait, I thought China was capitalist?
How many Chinese billionaires are there again, I forgot
Yeah, that’s the idea! China is capitalist but
And China hasn’t fired on a ship since 1988 and hasn’t dropped a bomb in a conflict since 1989.
So is it that capitalists love wars or that China isn’t capitalist? I’m confused

The .ml explains a lot lol
Says the person who says “China is imperialist” and “China is capitalist” and “All capitalists love war”. Not reductive at all.
Yup, pretty normal stuff for a country surrounded by borders and “international norms” defined by genocidal European imperialists.
