I’ve been speaking with other more informed communists and they’ve told me that none actually exist. Is this true?

China, Laos, and Vietnam: now notoriously capitalists. Workers work 12+ hours with no protection in horrible factory conditions. Suicide rates are so high that suicide nets are installed. The air is so polluted millions die from lung cancer, especially factory workers w/out basic masks. Corporations dominate

North Korea: Undemocratically ruled by the Kim dynasty. Jong un indulges lavishly at the expense of his citizens, ordering millions in fine wine and trips from Denis Rodman. They might be the most socialist though, as Juche seems to otherwise be democratic.

Cuba: Sanctions have taken a massive toll, but even taking that into account the country still has its own problems. They have massive food shortages and inventory probs and aren’t self sufficient after 60+ years. Why couldn’t they’ve use machinery imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery? The Soviets supported them heavily. They seem to be incredibly mismanaged or corrupt

    Oh, you care about not derailing the conversation? Great, then read the document that triggers you, tell me whether it is right or wrong. We can go from there.

    Hold back all your complaints about how the documents are made by too many Jews, or too many globalists, or whatever your buzzword is this week, and we can get to those after we’re done with that. Deal?

      No, the sources are not viable whatsoever, not even primary sources, but CIA front orgs, and one that has no sources cited.

      Give me a Korean source, preferably not government, right wing, or the CIA

      Hold back all your complaints about how the documents are made by too many Jews, or too many globalists, or whatever your buzzword is this week, and we can get to those after we’re done with that. Deal?

      babe again 👏 come👏 up 👏 with👏 some👏thing 👏 new👏

      “If you don’t like my sources you are basically a genocidal, jew-hating nazi” is not good faith either. Get your head out of your ass

      Renounce your CIA citation and I’ll deign to care about your shitty opinions.

          Right-wing Korean tabloid press concerning North Korea has been debunked by independent South Korean media orgs for decades, to the point it’s become a meme in South Korea

          You don’t know what NED is or the history of American funded right-wing media in South Korea, you’re like a Qanon supporter accusing people of being pedo supporters because they don’t believe nonsense made up by right-wing conspiracy rags, which YOU are also using as sources lmao

          Again, get a grip and learn some media literacy shitlib

            That sounds fascinating. Please post multiple links to the South Korean Independent organizations that have debunked them.

            As a side note, I take it you personally condemn the Grayzone, all CCP funded media, all Vietnamese state funded media, all Russian state funded media, all Syrian state funded media, etc?

              You ever heard of this concept called ‘critical analysis’ or do you just go around in life believing everything you read and excommunicating everything that upsets like some sophist pope

              Also you wormlike hypocrite, when are you gonna condemn the sources you just used? You’ve been informed of their origin and yet not a word of condemnation for one of the most horrifically fascistic organizations in human history

              Uses fash sources, then accuses other people of being fash, you learn that trick on pol you dumb fuck?

          babe

          korean dont mean shit

          D-

          Do you not know that SKorea is a US puppet? Do you actually believe it is a sovereign nation with no US control?

          The USA has direct control of the SKorean military during wartime, how can you be sovereign when you can’t even control your own army.

          And you don’t seem to know basic cold war history if you don’t know what the NED is.

          Renounce your CIA citation and I’ll deign to care about your shitty opinions.

            You know, if you used your own logic, you wouldn’t believe Hitler ordered the Holocaust.

            So… With that in mind, where do you stand on that?

              No, there are literal documents from the reich that he did so, as well as soviet and american ones. It also lines up perfectly with the ideology of hitler and what he said he was going to do.

              How long has it been since you’ve talked to another human being?

              That doesn’t even make sense with context, what the fuck are you talking about.

                • what the

                  whaaaa

                  are you saying

                  Are you saying that the Soviets are PUPPETS OF THE USA?!

                  Dronie you’ve made a leap large enough to cross the space between the earth and moon.

                  God I can’t take you seriously.

                  So we are left with the Nazi documents of which there are none.

                  What the fuck are you saying? There are a ton of Nazi documents that were used to prove a great deal about the Holocaust. There were cases of extensive destruction of documents, but they didn’t do that everywhere.

              You keep saying this and if you knew anything about Holocaust historiography and were speaking in good faith, it would be a really weird thing to say.

              https://www.holocaustcentre.org.nz/uploads/1/1/5/2/115245341/interpretations-of-the-holocaust.pdf

              Hitler was obviously an enthusiastic facilitator of the Holocaust, but to say that he “ordered” is a really fraught claim. It’s not like gas chambers or even death camps were his idea, or only put to use killing Jewish people after he approved of them. To my knowledge, he did order the removal of Jewish people from all the society controlled by Nazis and did seek for them to be eradicated, but when you say “ordered the Holocaust” it makes it sound like it was much more centrally-organized than it was. The fascist higher-ups on a municipal level understood it was part of their job to “purge” the Jewish population, but how they were to go about it often was not handed down to them, so they devised their own methods (and, if they reported success, their method was sometimes applied elsewhere). Whether what Hitler did say amounts to “ordering the Holocaust” vs the Holocaust being one of several possible outcomes that would have fallen within his orders is a matter of debate (to be clear, he did order genocide of Jews in a broader sense, but the Holocaust was not only work camps, which still would have been genocide due to many factors, and should not be understood as such).

              I don’t know, it’s just weird, you are very self-serious about history while demonstrating confident ignorance.
