      They are moving on the path to liberalization, which is a good thing because they are ass at running a command economy. Their standard of living has improved since liberalization.

      Okay but they aren’t completely liberalized, which was my point

      duhhh you claim to like state ownership of the MOP and yet this non-socialist county does that !

      This is the weirdest point that people bring up. Yeah no shit a state isn’t socialist because the government runs everything, but anyone with a brain can comprehend that nationalized industry is vastly preferable to private companies. Notice how the USSR didn’t experience the Great Depression? How they ensured food, housing, and healthcare for more of their population than Russia today? It’s not explicitly socialist, but any socialist should favor command economies over private ones. Like if France just privatized their railways and public utilities tomorrow I would hope that you would recognize that that’s a bad thing

      anything anti-america is good

      Sorry that people hate your country, but America in the last 50 years has invaded, slaughtered, raped, and murdered more innocent people than any other contemporary great power. Opposing America by supporting a lesser evil, like China or NK, is a perfectly fine position to have. If America collapsed tomorrow, socialism would be easier to achieve. Even third-world social democracies like Bolivia would be safer without threat of a CIA coup. Sounds like you’re just a mad ameriburger

      It’s funny how “critical support” actually means “unconditional support” for idiots like you. Like is nothing about NK above reproach? The massive corruption, repression, mismanaged economy, hyper-nationalism. Is that all fine by you?

      You’re doing exactly what I was talking about in the last paragraph of my last post lol. No, I’m not disagreeing with you on NK because I’m a North Korean nazi who thinks the country is literally perfect. Of course there is corruption, nationalism, whatever. I just like their economic system, or at least the concept of it, and I want to see it applied to other countries. Especially if we can do it with computers

        Then I'm not talking about people like you. I'm talking about literal dogmatic North Korea lovers who refuse to listen to any criticism about it.
