Both sides of this debate is wrong and chauvinistic https://twitter.com/Punished_Mansi/status/1360543400622235648
On the one hand, you have western chauvinism applying a blanket lens of nationalism, while ignoring all the actual national liberation movements that didn't disregard proletarian internationalism

Irish Republicanism, Cuba, Vietnam, etc
On the other hand, you have western chauvinism saying "The third world is all fucking reactionary".

Ignoring all the movements in the third world that are fighting against these attitudes and power structures.

Ignoring these SAME conditions exist in the first world aswell
The takeaway here is that westerners should shut the fuck up about the third world and focus on their own problems.
