You dunk on Lindsey whateverhernameis for tweeting bad things about leftists fomenting violent insurrection, but hopeful Balkanization and US collapse posts are downbeared. Are you just larping? Either the bourgeois state can be ended without violence or it cannot. I'm not here for enlightened centrism, folks.

    I think you quoted the wrong thing, so I really don't know how to respond to that.

      I quoted my own top-level reply to the person criticising what they think my take on North Korea is. The first sentence of it. The good part of it is what it represents internationally, a challenge to US hegemony, and the part I'm comparing to the culture of Trump followers is the cultural presentation of their attachment to the Kim dynasty and the imagery focus on their nationalist ideology. That's not even saying their nationalism is bad, Fanon represented Algerian nationalism as Malcolm X did black nationalism.

          Because you're making the same assertion and it's easier to respond to it if I just quote the first sentence of what you replied to.

              You called me a coward when you didn't read that sentence. If you went a whole comment or two below that's not parroting American propaganda, that's watching a lot of KCNA and making cultural comparisons between two culturally comparable groups. Even the principles of Juche could be summed up as "North Korea First" which is a language thing reflecting similar broad goals of building a national project that can survive external enemies. There's no criticism of North Korea in that and if Trump supporters aren't the most extreme contemporary example of western fascist imagery as the North Koreans are socialist imagery then I'm excited to learn who trumps Trump.
