I explained more here, but leftists oppose NATO because NATO is the millitary alliance of the world's imperialist powers. This group of countries uses this alliance to prevent the global south from going against it and liberating themselved from foreign plunder via overwhelming financial domination. The way imperialism tends to work in the modern day is countries like the US, France, Germany, UK, etc expropriate vast wealth from countries in the global south, similar to how capitalists steal value created by the working class.

The PRC and Russian Federation don't financially dominate Africa. For the PRC, it's because they don't have a domination of their econlmy by private financial capital, they have a socialist market economy. The PRC stands to gain more from mutual benefit, especially since developing others improves trade circulation and provides more customers for goods they produce. Even ignoring ideological reasons like being Marxist-Leninists, they lack the economic compulsion.

For Russia, it's because they outright lack the financial capital to participate. Russia, for all of its productive capacity, fell dramatically from their heights as the Soviet Union. Russia needs to offer more favorable trades, as they cannot rely on the sheer overwhelming financial power the west has. As a capitalist country, it has every reason to want to be imperialist, but it can't, and as such it is forced to strategically align itself with socialist countries and against western imperialism. Further, KPRF membership is skyrocketing, meaning a return to socialism is legitimately increasing.

I'm gonna need more than your word to believe that. Cause I'm not exactly going to believe the same thing Putin spouts as he attacks another neighboring country for their resources.

Provoked the war in Ukraine? Yea.... OK. That source became pretty uncredible with that line.
