The condemn Hamas thing pisses me of so much. It's on the same frequency as the Ukrainian peace summit, without Russia. Like it or not they are the acting political (and military obviously) power in Gaza. To ignore one of the main factions in conflict is so stupid. For the western left it just makes a false equivalence to the IOF and is meant to depress efforts on Palestines behalf and ultimately empower the genocidal entity.
It's kinda funny how belt and road is carrying out the lagecy of globalization but isn't seen that way because it benefits the Global south and China bad..
It's important to remember the geopolitical ecosystem of the time. SA came into a new country just as the USSR was dissolving and China was deep Dengist reforms, the 90s were a particularly hard time for Cuba and the DPRK. The CP's were advising the ANC to not alienate foreign capital and globalization under US hegemony seemed a forgone conclusion - and it was for almost 25-30 years. As someone else has stated even Zimbabwean land reform was done in as friendly fashion as could be.
