Can't disagree with that. But this is no different to the west. Raising these issues without unpacking the presence of the same features of liberal democracies means fuelling the pro-US imperialism narrative. It does the job of three-letter agencies for them. Socialists living in the west should spend their time challenging their own bourgeois and their own governments, the prime forces behind (US) imperialism. Only when they have achieved that, where their action might actually achieve something, should they turn their gaze elsewhere. The Soviet Union was making plenty progress before the US toppled it; it's a bit rich for westerners to now decry the consequences of that toppling (even if these are things that shouldn't happen).

EDIT: Now I know you're not in the west, I come across as a bit of an arse in this comment – sorry! I'll leave it up in case any western readers are thinking about criticising other countries before they criticise their own.
