many of these states and their governments are openly hostile to communist elements, but a communist party actively opposing their government would risk destabilising it and then playing themselves directly into the hands of the imperialist states. an indefinite "united front" would be desirable, especially in countries like iran, but it seems all leftist organisations in these states have either decided to fully support the government in everything, becoming controlled opposition (KPRF in Russia) or western puppets like (MEK) or whatever the fuck the "leftist opposition" in russia, belarus is.

At the bare minimum I think they should always condemn foreign aggression against their state, even if they're harshly critical of the current administration.

the proletariat knows no nation.

Imperialism knows no border

"Aggression" is doing a lot of work there because people always call the other side the aggressor, even when the other side is just acting in its own defense, in which case communists should probably support that side.

Anytime Amerikkka goes to war with a country they are the aggressor. So if Amerikkka is planning war against your country you should oppose it full stop, regardless of how shit the current administration is.

I agree, but there are wars where America is not a significant participant.

This post brings up Iran and Russia so I took those to be the main examples we were talking about.
