    it looks like the only comments of yours that were removed were for making inflammatory comments about homeless people on public transport in a place you don't live.

      Dude I was speaking from experience in that post. I live there and took the train daily. Do I need to show you my LA Metro card to prove it?

        Post your credit card number and DLN while you're at it.

        So a mod didn't like a comment you made which was interpreted as encouraging anti-homeless hate. Instead of just moving on you decided to make this about "tankies" despite no one saying anything about Marxist ideology, China, or anything related. I think you're just looking to pick a fight with us because we're dirty pinko commies or something.

          That was probably a more level headed way to deal with this person than the way too generous effort post I just commented lol

          I love that y'all use that as an insult. It only carries any weight in your own echo chamber, you know that right? No where else on the planet (be it a forum or a physical space) does that mean anything. Well, maybe within north korea

              Lol yeah they're thinking about the coming winter, or the reality that they aren't even allowed to leave their country (for all but the most privileged) unfortunately

                they aren’t even allowed to leave their country

                This is true, do you know who keeps them inside though? The United Nations' Security Council.

                Security Council Tightens Sanctions on Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Unanimously Adopting Resolution 2397 (2017)

                [...] the Security Council today further tightened sanctions on the country, severely restricting fuel imports and other trade, as well as the ability of its citizens to work abroad.

                    Hilarious joke, almost as funny as supporting sanctions that kill people because the sanctioned country has a scary ideology you know nothing about.

                    No they give them lots of money so they can be used as propaganda, like that lady that claimed NK moved trains with people and ate mud.

                    Very few people fleeing the country do it via the dmz. They go through China (and get on a boat) because it's actually pretty easy for them to go to China. Trying to cross the DMZ is liable to get them shot at by troops on both sides because you really aren't supposed to cross without authorization, including southerners going north.

            If "on the planet" you mean primarily the U.S and secondarily the rest of the "west" while excluding the majority of humanity on the planet, then sure.

            You're so brainwashed and conditioned into believing you have more in common with some ghoul billionaire that values your life insofar as much as they can extract wealth out of you than your own fellow worker.

              Obligatory comment that brainwashing is a myth rooted in orientalism and later pseudoscience, propagated by the US in order to make excuses for US soldiers defecting during the Korean War (et al).

              I mean everywhere that isn't China or Russia or one of their satellites/annexes yeah.

              Not sure where you got the billionaire thing, I've never defended them, in word or action. (Living in a capitalist country and needing a job for resources doesn't make me a billionaire apologist)

              Liberalism and billionaire worship are not the same thing, same as communism and xi are not the same thing.

              To be clear: just because xi figuratively leads a communist country doesn't mean this policy is perfectly communist.

              Same thing goes for billionaires existing in a liberal society.

              Lastly, the existence of either doesn't invalidate the tenets of either ideology

                Xi is no different than any other billionaire shit head most of the communist party top leaders use there position to gain control over the state controlled businesses

                  This is incoherent. Xi has administrative control (or influence) over state enterprises, but he isn't getting profits or stock options from them, so there are no grounds for calling him a billionaire

                  communist party top leaders use there position to gain control over the state controlled businesses

                  This is like saying you became a police commissioner to gain control over local police cars. Yeah, an explicit part of your job is that you can direct them, but the claim is so tautological that it looks like you are saying something else. It's not like Xi will retain control of these enterprises after he leaves office.

                  Xi first started geting so much hate from the west because he actually started purging communist party members for being too involved in the private sector. If he was encouraging the bourgeoisification of the CPC he would be hailed by the west.

            I am pretty sure "classist" is seen as a valid insult even among radlibs, and many other people believe in equivalent terms ("elitist" is not too far off)

                That's even sillier, since American parlance is definitely not universal and in most countries the colloquial meaning of "liberal" is essentially that of a market-loving centrist

                Also, obviously, real-world American leftists use it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cdqQ2BdgOA
