    It’s also an anti-corruption, anti-opportunism, anti-careerist test. No one gains any profit from supporting AES states in the imperial core (no checks from Xi, sadly). It’s not a career advantage to say the least. It’s baffling how libs/“anti-authoritan leftists” accuse us of only lusting for power. If we were after short personal gain, we would be like them.

      If we were opportunists, we wouldn’t be openly calling for the dismantling of the Liberal Democracy. How many libs and centrists can we attract with that?

        The problem is not even attracting libs or centrists. The propaganda and agitation work we do is specially done for this purpose. We are basically doing an ideological dispute over people’s subjectiveness.

        But when a liberal says he doesn’t want to lose the support of the center or attract part of the conservatives, they are not actually talking about the regular voter. They are talking about the capitalist donors, the exact people the liberal superstructure was created for. So they are willing to do any change except the ones that remove any power of the capitalist class.
