Contradictions

Capitalism vs. socialism

In 2013, China overtook the USA in terms of GDP PPP without using colonialism, slavery, or war as the Atlantic powers did and ended 500 years of Western dominance.

Imperialist bourgeoisie vs. national bourgeoisie

The bourgeoisie of non-Western countries such as India, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey is breaking away from the West.

Imperialist bourgeoisie vs. Southern working classes

The proletariat, peasantry, and lower petty bourgeoisie of the Global South are increasing their opposition to the West. For example, people in Burkina Faso and Mali are driving the French military out of their countries, and Colombia elected its first anti-US president.

National bourgeoisie vs. Southern working classes

Many countries in the Global South are ruled by pro-Western compradors and have extreme wealth inequality.

Imperialism vs. independent states

The USA has been targeting socialist states as well as capitalist countries that are not under its control. It is seeking to balkanize Russia and destroy its nuclear weapons.
