Heres a hypothetical question. If you lived in a country that was against your political beliefs and it was invaded by a govt with your political beliefs would you support the interum govt set up by the invaders? Yet again this is hypothetical, there is no globalist leftist power on earth today. Think a cheesy Red Dawn invasion

Governments don't fit in my political belief ;)

As a socialist I can say no government in the world is aligned, or can be aligned, with my beliefs. Also revolution is the role of the working class of a particular country. While fraternal aid can and should be given ultimately liberation is the role of a specific country's working class.A sympathetic country can help but should not control the struggle.

Why not support them kicking your governments ass, and when they arm the leftists and are weakened by war, kick their ass out as well? We don't believe in governments, left, right, blue, yellow, or cheese flavored ones.

If a government is invading another country its not a government I support. My political beliefs don't include any of that.

I think your playing to much civilization computer games.

Self-emancipation can't be opposed from above or outside so it's sort of a moot point in my opinion.

If there were a series of workers revolutions in other countries I would, however, do everything I could to prevent the US from launching counter-revolutions by helping to organize solidarity movements here at home.

Basically what everyone here has said. I believe in the self-emancipatory potential of the working-class. While outside support would certainly be helpful and appreciated, it shouldn't come in the form of one government invading another. If it were a situation akin to the Spanish Civil War (in which thousands of foreign pro-Republican volunteers came to fight alongside the communists against Franco's armies) I'd support it. But not through government intervention.

To answer the question directly: yes, absolutely, although I'd seek to get out of the warzone first.

Yes,i'd always be ready to "betray" my bourgeois "motherland" in favor of a socialist one.

A nation with my political beliefs wouldn't invade anybody.

However, I don't want any foreign boots on my soil killing my people. So whatever their politics a forceful invasion will always meet resistance from me. If the invasion is more political, using their power to pressure revolt here, and oust our government. Then yes I would support it. However, a mass military invasion, whatever their policies may be I will resist.
