I've been speaking with other more informed communists and they've told me that none actually exist. Is this true?
China, Laos, and Vietnam: now notoriously capitalists. Workers work 12+ hours with no protection in horrible factory conditions. Suicide rates are so high that suicide nets are installed. The air is so polluted millions die from lung cancer, especially factory workers w/out basic masks. Corporations dominate
North Korea: Undemocratically ruled by the Kim dynasty. Jong un indulges lavishly at the expense of his citizens, ordering millions in fine wine and trips from Denis Rodman. They might be the most socialist though, as Juche seems to otherwise be democratic.
Cuba: Sanctions have taken a massive toll, but even taking that into account the country still has its own problems. They have massive food shortages and inventory probs and aren't self sufficient after 60+ years. Why couldn't they've use machinery imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery? The Soviets supported them heavily. They seem to be incredibly mismanaged or corrupt
finally a half good opinion
But unless you have the bigotry of low expectations, you should be expecting more out of the country
What exactly do you want out of a society that was burnt to the ground and survived an attempted genocide? The U.S. dropped more ordinance on NK than they used in the entirety of WW2 and destruction of Japanese cities was a fraction of what the Korean people suffered. The U.S. then helped prop up an authoritarian police state in the South for decades, I'd likely be skeptical of what western democracy entailed after watching entire towns burned to a crisp with napalm. Do you also expect the Gazan population to be a liberal democracy?
Do you use this logic to excuse the third Reich after Germany got decimated
A country involuntarily split and then decimated by a foreign power because they were likely to adopt a communist government is definitely the same as the Nazis, wow you're very smart.
If you only knew how smart you sounded, fash
Do you also deride the Gazan population for not being the most progressive liberal democracy in the world? Why or why not? I'm sure after seeing their families and homes turned to ash they need to condemn Hamas right?

oh thats where they went? They're a 'do you denounce Hamas?' lib?
Honestly how does this just keep going
Explain further, your quips aren't politics.
I am surprised you are allowed to believe North Korea is a shitty country with shitty policies
no one controls my beliefs, and who cited the CIA for theirs again?
Are you going to disagree with the content, or are you going to continue using your Nazi logic of attacking the (alleged) source and it's purported jewishness, rather than addressing its content
"Citations needed."
"Ummm akshually that's something a NAZI would do."
"Children in North Korea eat rats and then the rats eat the children. You must engage with whatever I claim or you're a red facist.
the smugness of these dronies is always their only personality, its very boring
You have your citations. Engage with their contents
"Yes I identify as an anarchist, yes I uncritically believe everything the CIA and U.S. state dept tell me, we exist. Henry Kissinger is a great man."
So, you refuse to engage with the contents, do I have that right
the contents are CIA prop, we aint reading a bit of that. You could just denounce that citation and bring in new ones. There are countless anti DPRK orgs
of course most are funded by the SKorean government or the CIA but you could make an effort.
"Disagreeing with me and actually questioning the viability of your sources makes you a nazi, I am very smart."
Who let this child into the adult section? I gotta talk to their parents.
Why don't you read the documents and tell me whether they are right or wrong? You seem obsessed with calling out the source as being globalist
If you don't believe in something because it's been created an arm of the US government for propaganda purposes, that's just like what the Nazis do.
Seriously what is this shit, of course something can be not credible because of the source, would you believe something you read on InfoNews
Yeah, sure. Same goes for all Chinese state media, all North Korean state media, all Russian state media, all Vietnamese state media, etc. All of those things could be 100% dishonest, and anything that agrees with those countries might be paid by them.
Which is apparently the level of conspiracy theory you, and other reactionaries, are attempting to grasp at.
So let's go back to the contents, and if the source offends you, we can talk about your offense after that.
Do you even know what the word ”reactionary” means?
You're the only one here who's posting state propaganda and expecting people to treat it as genuine, so apparently you think US state media is somehow exceptional. And not even just state media, CIA-funded media.
