Many leftists shy away from speaking out against western imperialism because they see international dynamics as too complex, when really it's the LEAST complex part of the capitalist empire. The world's largest power structure murders human beings to exert control. Very simple.
If you understand that police brutality is a problem or that oligarchs are robbing the working class, then the idea that they're also holding together a globe-spanning empire using nonstop mass murder should be super easy. Only propaganda spins it as more complicated than that.
Once you see how simple it is, how profoundly evil it is, and how all the other abuses of the empire depend on it, you understand that opposing the war machine of the US-centralized power alliance should be the very foremost priority of any leftist. It is the head of the beast.
Unipolar planetary hegemony literally never once existed in human history except in the last 30 years. And it's highly unlikely that any nation is looking at how rapidly the US empire is burning itself out and deciding that that's something to emulate.
