See, it’s not that the observation is necessarily wrong. The problem is that most of the time the people who bring this up are missing the point. Yes, I would prefer that the Russian Federation’s and the Islamic Rep. of Iran’s working masses have more political power, but griping about them over and over again is a waste of time that distracts us from how neoimperialism has been threatening both.
If this were the early 1940s, I wouldn’t distract people from the Fascist bombing of the United Kingdom by spewing ‘But Britain and Germany are both bad.’ Yeah. They are. That isn’t the goddamn point right now.

This is kind of depressing.
