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

    I have mixed feelings about Juche and the state of the DPRK but the absolute intellectual laziness and ignorance that many Westerners proudly display about it is incredibly frustrating. Like you can just google this shit. Even Wikipedia clearly states that the country has separation of powers, a complex executive system, multiple parties, elections, etc. If you read anything that isn't fucking CNN and the NYT you will find that everything they sell you is bullshit and the refusal of self proclaimed "leftists" to do this and instead to be reductive is at best a manifestation of laziness if not outright Orientalism and chauvinism .
