        I don't get why MLs frame anti imperialism in terms of "supporting [this particular state]." We don't oppose imperialism because we support capitalist dictatorships like Syria or Russia, we oppose imperialism because it hurts the dispossessed. That means opposing US sanctions and bombings or whatever, but saying "stand with putin" is absolute garbage rhetorically.

      I feel like you're falling back on that crutch and not saying that you might have a little bit of a non-dialectical understanding of the DPRK you could learn about or not at least not post smarmy comments about

          My point is that if that's all you think juche is about you have greater misapprehensions than it is within my qualification to assess. Being a prick is pretty cool tho and you're good at that. Maybe keep leaning into it

              Yes. Family dynasties, especially in their roles throughout history in maintaining hierarchies and capital, are something to be avoided and at conflict with a utopian idea of socialism. But we're forty or fifty thousand steps away from utopian socialism, and structures rigid enough to keep their structure under the full weight of modern imperialism are something that it would be liberal to ignore. I'm saying that if you think the family dynasty is where a majority (or truly even plurality) of the political power is in the DPRK you definitely don't need to have an opinion on the matter.

              Wallowing in your ignorance under the pretense of "hierarchy bad" isn't particular fucking materialistic, is it?
