What's with people saying they want to live in North Korea? Dictatorships aren't "based" dude. They give lefties a bad rep. Edit: Sorry y'all, I was a bit rude earlier. I had a bad day yesterday and I was a bit mean. Tbh I probably should have phrased my post a bit differently. So basically, can someone who is a "tankie" explain the ideology a bit? I really don't know much about it, and I suppose my gut anarchist feelings were a bit hostile to any sort of authority. Thanks in advance!
For people saying they'd want to live there, it's probably like a form of escapism. A similar idea would be the desire to go off into the countryside and live in a commune as a subsistence farmer - anything is better than the hellscape we live in. Living in a failed state is pretty depressing, and this site itself if fairly doomer. I'd argue that part of the solution to this is revolutionary optimism. We don't just want to flee to or meet the examples provided by AES, we want to learn from their mistakes and improve within our own movements.
