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

    ad hominem fallacy

    logical fallacy

    whataboutism

      Doubling down on the logical fallacy, and introducing a second ad hominem, doesn't fix your argument. If anything, it makes you look more desperate.

      Why are you so terrified of this document? It's like telling a Scientologist that Hubbard isn't God, and the Scientologist insists that I shouldn't bring up their irrationality, and that anyone who disagrees with them is the real cultist.

      Do you believe the 10 principles don't exist?

        Reddit brain, also you've been doing the same shit calling others nazis and making out everyone who disagrees is anti jew. Very lib of you.

        Terrified? Of something that isn't verified to be real? You dronies always seem to be projecting.

        I do, but give me the real 10 principles. Korean speakers here or from DPRK sources can translate.

        Denounce your CIA source and then I'll deign to care about your childish words.

          You just contradicted yourself. First, you said the 10 principles aren't real, and now you are claiming they are real but you need somebody of a particular ethnicity to read them to you. Seems kind of racist.

          But hey, we can simply go through the principles one at a time. I will write them out, and you will tell me whether or not they should be condemned.

          First and foremost, do you believe a country should establish a singular, monolithic political party, and imprison or disappear anyone who dares to criticize it?
