Rowan Valvona explores the validity of the accusations of monarchical rule in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

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

    Can we stop this "I saw a bad take and now I'm making a whole effort-post about that take instead of just addressing the poster directly" thing?

      Sorry, I'm half awake and was just gauging if this was a larger problem. The statements themselves had comparatively quite a bit of updoots. Should I have done something else?

        There has been a trend of posts along the lines of "I've been seeing a lot of posters, mostly new accounts, support [bad take]." They usually pop up after struggle sessions, almost never provide a link, and they tend to perpetuate the tense vibes on the forum. Your argument provides a link seems to be in good faith, but perhaps HoChiMaxh had noticed the same thing mentioned above and was sensitive to it
