you might be thinking of the Stalin quote about the Emir of Afghanistan -
"The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such "desperate" democrats and "Socialists," "revolutionaries" and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism. "
Texas set up razor wire on the border. Feds want to cut some of it. Texas sued the Feds to ban them from cutting the razor wire and the Supreme Court narrowly overturned the ban that Texas sought. The Feds are being told they can take down Texas' wires but Texas can replace them, only to be taken down again by the Feds. A lot of boba liberals are acting like the Texas Governor is standing against the Supreme Court but all the Supreme Court said was that the Feds aren't banned from cutting wire (so long as it obstructs them? unclear because the entire decision is two fucking sentences).
In my opinion, this is little more than yet another crack in the legitimacy but a lot of people are reading this as a powder keg waiting to explode if Biden doesn't handle this carefully, potentially leading to a secession crisis (which admittedly, would be great).
It is so depressing comparing my country and China. Both countries had very similar beginnings, population sizes and thousand year histories but one picking socialism and the other picking capitalism made all the difference.
