Steven Wells of the Guardian UK has the very interesting article about how communists and anarachists in the United States are passionate about soccer. In a portion of the article, he details a major game between anarchists and communists in San Francisco, where some people in the crowd were chanting: "You say you look to Mao for salvation? What about the Xinjiang workers' situation?!"
One thing Wells doesn't get into is that the American left tends to favor almost anything that is unpopular in the United States and popular in Europe. I myself often look to Europe favorably but this tendency should be noted and examined in detail.
