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

    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."

              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.

                HRW is calling for an investigation into the Israeli bombing of a Gazan ambulance as a war crime.

                It's a real shame your brain has been reduced to nothing but mindless campism

                Okay, so you don't trust Human Rights Watch to diagnose the situation in Gaza either.

                I guess that's all we can talk about, because you can't even bring yourself to read anything that you think is too 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.
