Pol Pot also defined himself as Marxist-Leninist. I feel like lines are being blurred everywhere.

Does Lukashenko deserve our critical support in defiance of Western hegemony?

    he can have a little corruption, as a treat

    but for real, people should be compensated according to responsibility, and if that means he gets a nice house and good food, so be it. anything like the amount of wealth CEOs siphon off their workers today is haram of course

      critical support is not about laundering genuine complaints. fuck Lukashenko for doing corruption if he is.

        no, you're right, I don't know how extensive his corruption is.

        I'm just saying on principle, a socialist society would maintain differing levels of compensation for a while, until the big red communism button is pressed

      people should be compensated according to responsibility,

      This is literally a liberal talking point to justify the CEO thing.

      Also we're talking about corruption.

        I'm talking like slightly higher wages, not billions in tax havens. DPRK has a base salary and a production based bonus, so you will never starve, but still get rewarded for hard work.

          "Responsibility"=/=harder work. Responsibility is what the libs will tell you to justify why a CEO makes so much money and it is a weird abstract concept.

          Corruption isn't how much a politician is paid. Corruption is abuse of a politician's office for additional illegal monetary gain.

            I think we agree on this, we're just talking past each other.
