@Radical_EgoCom it would be stupid for the communists not to take advantage of the struggle between imperialist power blocs. this is what happened, after all, with the October revolution. We could even say that the October revolution was partially a direct result of the imperialist struggle: Lenin was almost wheeled in from Switzerland by the central empires to cripple the russian imperialism.
The BRICS are obviously the underdog here (for how long, though?), but it is a fragile opportunistic alliance where every partner is moved by nationalistic and imperialistic motives. They do not support socialism, they are just vultures that side with some of the victims of US imperialism because they know that they do not have choices.
"An opportunistic alliance motivated by desperation" is the best way to describe socialist countries allying with BRICS. It would be much better to have a modern-day Cominterm, but there isn't one. BRICS is the best that socialist countries have at the moment at combating US imperialism, their main threat, and my hope is that overtime, as more and more countries become socialist, a true international socialist alliance can be created and render alliances like BRICS obsolete.
You know this topic better than I, so why do you say that? What extra qualities did Comintern have that BRICS is lacking?
The Cominterm was made up of socialist countries and countries with a large socialist, communist, and labor movement presence with the intended goal of world socialist revolution. BRICS is not dedicated to socialism and has no such specific goal of world socialist revolution.
