With capitalisms need to continually expand we see again it's need for war in order to establish new markets.

I can understand that. The reliance on war economy is something I learned from Daniel Guérin in "Fascism & capital".

The issue is that the current western hegemonic world order helmed by the US is seeking a point of conflict with China to prevent them from effectively disrupting the current status quo

Alright

Combatting the propaganda designed to manufacture consent for an upcoming war with China is the most important thing that a leftist can be doing in regards to geopolitics

Fair enough, I understand. Thanks for the breakdown

Happy to help heart-sickle

I'd recommend reading imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism by lenin and Neocolonialism the last stage of imperialism by kwame nkrumah in your spare time if you've got the chance, really great definitive insights into both concepts.
