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?

But isn't having major powers divided going to cause yet another world war which will kill millions or perhaps billions? Wouldn't the end result be Russian unipolarity and thus the same issues you mentioned?

This premise is so disingenuous, the world has been at war for most of the period of US hegemony and it will never end as long as this unfair world system continues to exist, the world is not just Europe you know.
