What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

I don't think you know what imperialism is if you think the US isn't imperialist. US imperialism is well-documented, it's the world's largest empire. The US uses its vast financial capital to dominate the global south and expropriate vast sums of wealth, being fascist isn't at all incompatible with imperialism.

Further, the EU doesn't respect international rights, doesn't have free speech, does disappear political opponents, etc. The only point I partially agree with is that the EU acknowledges climate change, though it doesn't take it as seriously as the PRC does. The EU still practices the same process of using financial capital to dominate and super-exploit the global south for super-profits.

Fascism is not distinct from capitalism, it's capitalism in crisis. It isn't the same as liberalism, but both are linked.

Marx, Stalin, and Kim Jong-Un are all socialists, sure, but none depend on "cultural hegemony," whatever that means, and all are different people that live in different times, contexts, and countries.

I don't only see in black and white, I have tried to explain the nuances of Marxist-Leninist perspectives, and again you strawman, caricaturize, and now even deny the US as an empire. Fundamentally you don't know what you're talking about, I suggest you take a step back and read.
