Is there an option to not support anyone?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 hours ago

Not really, but there is critical support, which is how Marxists see this situation.

Critical support is supporting something while also being critical of its flaws. It is often used in the context of supporting bourgeois states that fight against imperialism or are under imperialist aggression.

No you either support imperialist invasions or you don't. There is no fence to sit on.

Nope. Think of it like a trolley problem.
