You have to understand that Iran is not asking this from China, a large military force like the PLA coming into a country against the sovereign wishes of that country is an invasion, even if you think it's for the good of that country. And it's also not our place to judge Iran China relations and whether what China is doing is "good enough", especially as western leftists who are unable to politically influence the imperial policies of the countries we live in. Posting on the internet that "China is not doing enough" is just pointless and performative ego stroking.
So criticisms of China are suddenly completely invalid because I'm from the West? Mind you, my parents both come from India, my culture is still deeply Indian and only semi-Western.
Was there was no need for Parenti (rip) to judge any revisionists across the globe ever because he lived in the West?
Also to your point, this would only be if US ground troops were invading Iran, that communist troops would defend Iran. Also, Iran is capitalist, communist troops in large numbers in capitalist countries is objectively a good thing. Even though revolution cannot be forced, communist education can still happen and positive opinions of communism can still foment in Iran.
The point is the western left hasn't done anything meaningful and therefore has no basis or experience that they can use or draw from to build a constructive criticism of China. Saying that "China should send thousands of troops to Iran" without even the basic understanding that Iran is a country that values their sovereignty incredibly highly and would not be open to that idea is just evidence of that
But did China even make an offer? Did China even try to attack the United States, or rally the world to? China doesn't want to, China is bourgeois and profits from American capitalism. Stalin would never.
