    But both China and Russia are very much capitalist, though you can exclude China if you think they’re ‘building up to communism via capitalism’

    So if both of these nations are capitalist, how can they be considered enemies of those in capitalist power?

      As I’ve said, I’m not really trying to get into a debate here. I only settled on the phrase “in capitalist power” because “enemies of the West” seemed a little too conspiratorial, but it’s closer to the idea I was going for.
