The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

I don't understand the appeal of "multipolarity" (lemmygrad.ml)

Personally, I fail to see why many Marxist-Leninists support multipolarity. The primary goal of the Leninist movements has always been "workers of the world unite!" and not "non-US-aligned countries unite!".

To be clear, in saying this, I am not endorsing US-led unipolarity. I am just saying that multipolarity is not inherently good as some MLs suggest. For example, the world in 1914 and 1939 were without a doubt multipolar, and those both resulted in brutal world wars which killed millions.

Could somebody explain why people support multipolarity so much?

We’re already in a multi polar world,

And it's a world mired in conflict, oppression, disease, anti-communism, and fascist tyranny. I'm not sure what the appeal is.

What is worse, neoliberalism or fascism?

literally all of that is a result of U.S. and declining European influence. You don't see the appeal to an emerging communist superpower? Okay then

Socialist states do not take on the form of superpowers.

Okay whatever you wanna believe hun. You literally answer your own question with "why would people find a multi polar world appealing" in the same breath as you list a mass of horrors perpetrated by the U.S. and which rising Chinese influence is already mitigating so you're either a moron or here to concern troll.

Everyone considered the USSR a superpower.

The world was no less mired in those things during unipolarity, they just seldom affected people in the imperial core, so to us it looked like peace & prosperity.
