Simply put, socialism in practice guided by communist parties has delivered the most rapid improvements in quality of life for their working classes in history. This is consistent and measured. There’s no perfect socialism, only real socialism maintained by real means in the real world.

The problem of North Koreans infiltrating U.S. corporations for profit, mischief, and more is undoubtedly a serious one. We’ve covered sizable FBI seizures of equipment recently, perhaps showing just the tip of the iceberg. More successful infiltrations by the DPRK, as well as hostile nations like Iran, Russia, and China, are likely to be ongoing.

Deeply unserious article.

I live in the empire and want it to burn down. People do become radicalized through their lived experience, and it’s our job to guide these people to correct theory and practice, as people once did for me.

Need a zoomer translation of State and Revolution.

Euronationalists are frustrating to deal with because they’ll agree that the US Empire is bad while denying their own participation in imperialism, or justifying it.

Pixelfed is the fedi equivalent, maybe make an account there and mastodon.

Based, don’t let the Empire bully you.

The DPRK has a tourism industry, they want people to go. I can’t, as a US citizen the US Empire prevents me from going. They are understandably cautious considering the US Empire committed genocide against them, and NATO has sanctioned them into oblivion.

Tibetans are free to live as they wish, that’s why many are going to the cities for work. Not everyone wants to be a nomad.

Have a Reuters link and a link to OSCE itself. Toss in Human Rights Watch for good measure. Plenty of good sources.

You keep pretending the “little green men” are more important than the literal Neo-Nazis that committed the Maidan massacre and were ethnically cleansing Russians. Had NATO and Kiev not dramatically increased shelling and ammassed an invasion force in Donetsk and Luhansk, the DPR and LPR would not have requested Russian assistance and voted to join the Russian Federation. You’re siding with literal neo-Nazis.

Hong Kong has a population of 7.5 million. 1.7 million is definitionally a minority among the 7.5 million, and again, the majority of people are happy to no longer be colonized by England. I know hating democracy and loving colonization is your thing, though, so your logic checks out for why you’d be so confused.

It was never “an entire people.” The rioters were a minority of the population, with many people (and many more now) accepting inclusion into China and no longer being a colony. Those that did riot were not “brainwashed,” as brainwashing doesn’t exist, but instead were largely under the belief that they benefited from the colonial system (or in many cases truly did). The west colluded with elites in Hong Kong to orchestrate these riots and create a picture of a city fighting to remain under British colonial rule, but in actuality the protests died down and now people generally are happier being folded into China.

Here’s a good list of sources on the Hong Kong protests and the far-right western influence on them.

The war was brought about by the west couping Kiev and replacing the government with Neo-Nazis, which you happen to love. Further, again, the shelling had actually escalated prior to Russia getting involved, confirmed by OSCE. Kiev had ammassed an invasion force into Donetsk and Luhansk, dramatically increased shelling, and then days later Russia intervened.

Face the facts, please, and drop the unfounded ageism.

Yes, I do trust Russia and China more than the west when it comes to reporting on the DPRK, because they actually go there and don’t report nonsense claims about life there. The DPRK does accept people, it’s largely western countries preventing their own people from visiting. Again, keep up your chauvanism.

The people of Tibet were not forced to inner cities. Tibet is developing beyond their nomadic mode of production, which leads to more city population and fewer nomads.

The west does indeed try to force violence into protests they back, yep! Arming and radicalizing people against socialist governments is a tried and true tactic of the west.

The DPRK publishes English news and has visitors from Cuba, Russia, China, and more, so we can get a good idea of how things are there. I just haven’t researched their LGBTQIA+ rights yet, and the west pretty much purely lies about it. It’s no paradise, but it does well considering their situation.

China does not bar Tibetans from speaking their language and living their lives according to their customs. Tibet is a part of China, and as such is integrated into the PRC, but there is not ethnic suppression. Further, Ukraine is governed by Neo-Nazis that were slaughtering people in the Donbass, not just language suppression.

More Fox News garbage from yourself.

It was both. Police cracked down on violent protestors, and the protestors gave up as well. The pro-colonization side lost and now most people support the status quo. Capitaliats are still upset though.

The riots died down and the majority of people support the status quo. That’s literally what happened. Hong Kong is doing better now than when they were a British colony, that you seem to wish they remain.

As I said regarding LGBTQIA+ rights, they are improving. History isn’t a series of static snapshots, but instead an unfolding process. The report itself also cites the surprising progress as compared to the older PRC, and especially compared to being under Japanese colonialism and the KMT.

As for the DPRK and the LGBTQIA+ community, it’s a bit difficult to learn but from what I can see it seems to be legal. May not be legally protected, but not illegal.

As for your comment on Tibet, it’s full of shit. Tibetans are living far greater lives than when they were literally tortured slaves en masse, and there isn’t Han supremacy. This is more Fox News far-right Neo-Nazi conspiracy shit that you continue to peddle, fascist that you admitted to being.

No? Jimmy Lai was just one example that was convicted in the last few days after evidence was collected. You’re deeply unserious.

As I explained, I’m not at all on the same page with Carlson and Bannon. Their desire to dump Ukraine onto the EU to insteas focus on Latin America and then Asia isn’t the same as opposing western imperialism. I can articulate why they hold their views and why I hold mine.

Here’s a full report by a western org that talks about "surprising progress with daunting obstacles. The younger generation is pro-LGBTQIA+, the older is anti. Over time this is resulting in gradual change for the better with each passing generation.

I actually haven’t looked into LGBTQIA+ rights in the DPRK. They’re notoriously terrible in the ROK, as are women’s rights, so I’d expect the DPRK to fare a bit better but I haven’t actually looked into that much.

Tibet is an autonomous zone that is within the broder PRC. It isn’t distinct from China, nor is it wholly the same. Tibet within the PRC has seen rapid development and dramatic progress once moving beyond feudalism into socialism. The fact that Tibet is developing and extreme poverty is eradicated there isn’t a point against China, but for it. You have a Fox News style understanding of China while you live in an actually imperialist country like Italy.
