I am a Marxist in China

Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).

The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it’s Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, “the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist.”

In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.

I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?

      大多数人知道巴以冲突的人都支持巴勒斯坦（包括很多没有政治意识的人），毕竟中国人很少见到这么可怕的人道主义灾难。

      有少部分自由右派（自由意志主义者）坚定的支持以色列，你通常在推特、YouTube上中文板块看到的蠢货就属于这类人，这类人在14亿人口里就算“只是100人有一个”，单独拿出来也不算少数。

      但是支持巴勒斯坦中的一部分人走向另一个极端，他们真的支持法西斯种族灭绝犹太人，有时候我看与二战犹太人相关的视频时，经常看见相关种族主义评论。

      左派里：大多数极左翼同情并理解哈马斯的极端手段和宗教立场，但是更支持“解放巴勒斯坦人民阵线”、“巴勒斯坦解放民主阵线”。 中左派里，改良主义者（自由主义左派）因为其LGBT、女性主义与阶级主义、民族解放等同的立场，一般各打五十大板，更偏向法塔赫，或者淡化不在此事不尝试追踪跟进。 民间“左派建制派”，通常都是哈马斯的坚定支持者。
