Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
1282 readers

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.

Multipolarity is definitely something that communists should support. Of course, it's not the end goal, but it is a necessary step to take in order to dismantle USD hegemony and allow all nations to liberate themselves from debt traps.
The point Becker was making is that multipolarity in and of itself isn't going to end capitalism. Only socialism can do that. Multipolarity between capitalist countries gave us two world wars.
I believe that's what I stated. Multipolarity isn't the end goal, which is global communism; but, it is a necessary step to take in order to reach that goal given the cards we are dealt with.
Oh I'm saying that Becker doesn't support multipolarity per se. It's good that US dominance is weakening, but replacing it with dominance from other countries or other blocs of countries isn't what we should be striving for.
(though I don't think that's what people here mean when they say "multipolarity". I believe we're all in agreement with him on this one)
