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.

You're just giving up on the idea of there being a correct answer, at complete odds with dialectical materialism

Im giving up the idea that I am in any position to dictate their moves while not understanding their material conditions from a ground level

That doesn't mean "however they want," it just means "I don't know." You not having access to the basis for what the best answers are does not mean we should endorse the idea that there's no better or worse approach.

I think you're purposefully reading my comment as disingenuously as you can.
