How likely is it that the BRICs countries can form a counter-imperialist (if not a full-blown anti-imperialist) bloc against the West?

India wouldn't do it, they're fully on board the global neoliberalism train.
Would love to see all the countries America is butthurt at unite though.

Implausible, it is far more likely they form an imperialist bloc to compete with the West's imperialist bloc. Given that they are all capitalist it would be very likely to see BRICs start resource extracting from Africa.

Developed capitalist countries cannot form an anti-imperialist bloc. The best they can do is challenge American imperialism with their own, like China is doing, kinda.

None, China and Russia have their own imperialist ambitions: such is the emerging world of multipolarity.

But western imperialism is the PRIMARY CONTRADICTION.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Jason is unbelievably stupid if he things a bunch of neoliberal capitalist nations are going to present a serious threat to the capitalist neoliberal world order.

If a group of Maoists in aome third world nowhere country were raping puppies and intentionally infecting babies with HIV he would still support them because they oppose western imperialism.

He is making fun of Jason because he says that all the time.

Yeah, I know, but primary and secondary contradictions are a real thing.

I'm joking obviously.

Chances are between zero to none.

It's very low.
These countries have little that unites them and a lot of conflicting interests: China and India have border conflicts, and Pakistan and Birma complicate that relation further. As for Russia, they fear the Chinese have designs on the Far East - and they probably do. As for Brazil and South Africa, lol who cares.

So on what basis would Roo (or any tankie for that matter) have for calling BRICs an example of 3rd World solidarity?

Wishful thinking, and making a mountain out of a molehill. Like when India joined the SCO, people touted it as some kind of proof that a Chinese-Indian axis was afoot. But what actually happened since (and unrelated to the SCO) was that China and India had an actual border conflict, with soldiers fighting and everything, just now! That's not the thing an alliance is made out of.
Things might change in the future though.

China and India's border conflict goes back decades.

The situation in Myanmar could be a disaster. Just imagine if India started supplying arms to the Rohingya rebels to smite China (since China is Myanmar's biggest ally by far).

Not to mention that other Chinese ally, Pakistan…

Yeah. China could fund an intifada in Kashmir.

he's retarded is all
Maoism itself is cancer but third worldism is not even remotely ML, it's defeatism and general faggotry

They don't even have to honestly, the ISI is more than happy to do it for them as long as China has Pakistan's back, and they can control the radical Islamists in their own country. I would imagine China would be equally hesitant; they have enough trouble in Xinjiang as it is

Elaborate please.

The BRICs are our hope for a modern day Yalta conference.

Ever heard of the Naxals?

I CANT TAKE IT
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

That whole area is an almighty clusterfuck, what with Afghanistan being drawn into the equation now.

Naxals are losing big time.

Also, on the topic of Burma: Pakistan isn't going to supply the Rohingya with weapons to defend themselves from genocide by Buddhists, because Pakistan doesn't want to get on China's bad side (ever). India wouldn't either, only because supplying a fringe ethnic group with guns would no doubt snowball into a giant arms trafficking network in the region (this is what happened in North Africa when the CIA supplied weapons to the Libyan "rebels" - those weapons were later trafficked into the hands of jihadis in Mali and no doubt Algeria as well). South Asia can't become another central Africa.

Too tiny tbh. What India needs is a large social democratic party divorced from the gangster families running the show now.

Luckily in Pakistan, no great powers are clashing. Pakistan funds the Taliban, the US fights them, the defense contractors make buck, no harm no foul. Syria is much scarier in that regard, it has both Russia and the US causing major trouble. Most dangerous place, minus Korea because of the recent the anti-DPRK campaign.

What about tribal conflicts in Pakistan? Most of the country is still tribal.

Only the FATA and KPK are tribal, most of the country - the Punjab etc., are just capitalist caste societies like India. In the tribal areas, you have the Pakistani Taliban, but that's about it. The Pakistani army did a few operations in the last decade that really cleaned the place up. It's actually a more stable country than people give it credit for. Beyond that, Pakistan at this point faces a threat not unlike Europe, with terrorists frequently targeting soft targets.

Real talk, BRICS Nations are just another fucking problem. Up and coming imperialists tryna beat America at it's own game. The best that could come outta them reaching United States-tier global power is both sides nuking each other into dust. You know, prolly after The Eternal Eagle starts screeching, flapping it's obese wings wildly, shitting everywhere and threatening to unleash the nukes if Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa don't stop beating Burgerstan at capitalism. Without a single global superpower left maybe whoever's left can finally launch a socialist world revolution without imperialists constantly tryna fuck it all up with coercion or all out violence.

Anti american capitalism is the best capitalism.

Yes.
