https://hexbear.net/post/244410 from this post which had good faith questions about some possible racism/homophobia in instances of reporting from the DPRK, all well and good. Then a few people in the comments thought to let their liberal demons out and accuse the DPRK of somehow being a monarchy. Pure ideology. No real Analysis.

The DPRK is a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, a democracy. Stop being a liberal idiot and read some actual theory before defaulting to your corporate media propaganda.

I thought this site was better, but perhaps this is an isolated incident.

Edit: now the same people seem to be saying that the DPRK is Anti-Communist

    This is cultural rather than structural I think. There is no structural reason for this to occur unless corruption is higher than it was even in China at its peak, but if corruption were so high I don't think they'd still be so ideologically left anymore. So the only take that works is that it has become a cultural thing.

    Ultimately the role the Kims have occupied is a voted on position. This fact is undeniable.
