      I just remember whenever I look at maps of "Treaty Sinatories", "UN Reolutions or "Progressive Movements Worldwide" then Nicaragua and North Korea tend to agree on most things.

      I've not seen any "propaganda" one way or the other. Literally just my interpretation when looking at maps of the world and voting records.

        Not really sure what point you're trying to make with that. Both Nicaragua and DPRK are resisting US aggression, and thus have common interest.

            Ah yes, the liberal US empire that murders people on the industrial scale is the bastion of morality, while people who resist it are AuThoRiTariAn. The only thing that's clear is that you're a morally bankrupt individual who runs around calling people slurs.

            I'm a socialist but

            I sincerely suggest you learn about the DPRK's history and how it got to this stage instead of relying on western narratives and outlets; the same imperial nations that colonized the world and is currently supporting a genocide. Korea was divided in two against the people's will, and the North had 20% of its population slaughtered by the US and most of its infrastructure turned to rubble.

            I recommend the third season of Blowback for its history, and perhaps documentaries like My Brothers And Sisters In The North, or Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul

            Boy Boy also made a made a cool video where they visited the DPRK.

            DPRK's current issues stem from the ridiculous amounts of sanctions on it from the West (similar to Cuba and Zimbabwe; these only harm the people and destabilize the country). It was actually developing at a similar pace to, and even slightly faster than, the South before the USSR's dissolution.

            Fun fact: the UN praises DPRK's robust healthcare system for being able to function so well despite the sanctions. Only possible cuz of its Socialist nature.

            Edit: Also

            According to Wikipedia: "Since Daniel Ortega's election in 2006, liberal democratic norms and individual rights in practice have deteriorated."

            Liberal "democracies" aren't democratic in the first place; it only serves the ruling class. Just look at what the US is doing, and has always done, with the supposed "lesser evil" in power. Same goes for the rest of the imperial core. It only exists to protect capitalism.
