The North Korea appreciation thread

[Sengoku Americas]

I appreciate that North Korea unites the world in agreement about how awful of a place it is. That, and that it somehow also has leadership that is sad and pathetic in ways that you only see in sitcom buttmonkeys.

I appreciate them for teaching me the word "dotard", which I think is applicable to both the current US president and his predecessor.

To be fair, the only fat people in North Korea are members of the Kim dynasty, and any criticism of them tends to earn you a free bullet to the brain or enslavement in a gulag (well, more like, worse slavery than they already live under).

bro stop fat shaming it's very rude

How tf am I fat shaming?

Also, there are only 3 fat people in that picture, one of them is KJU, and 2 of them are probably like, great uncles of his or something. At the very least, they're definitely part of the North Korean upper class.

Blaming "socialism" (which North Korea isn't) for starvation, meanwhile one of four US households is also affected by food insecurity.

If you actually knew anything about me, you'd realize how hilariously ridiculous it is to not only accuse me of blaming socialism for North Korean starvation, but to also accuse me of downplaying/ignoring the US's issues with food insecurity (especially considering I'm actually one of the people affected by it).

I was making a critique of tankies as an actual socialist (and also a McDonalds reference). But go off.

Actually North Korea is a democracy. Article 6 of the DPRK Constitution (1998 edition) reads "The organs of State power at all levels, from the county People’s Assembly to the SPA, are elected on the principle of universal, equal and direct suffrage by secret ballot."

And other jokes you can tell yourself.

ok so if north korea is capitalist doesn't that mean capitalism makes people hungry

Yes, it does.

wtf capitalism is causing hunger in north korea....

The North Koreans should totally revolt against their corrupt, capitalist government.

maybe if you stopped fat shaming north koreans they wouldn't be so depressed that they put their socks on wrong

I bet most North Koreans WISH they could be fat enough to be fat shamed.

Correct. We need to end hunger in America, by bringing peace, freedom, and democracy to the people of America.

Although be fair, the only fat people in United States are members of the Trump dynasty, and any criticism of them tends to earn you a free bullet to the brain or enslavement in a prison (well, more like, worse slavery than they already live under).

God, its so sad when you try to turn a legitimate criticism of North Korea back onto a country that (for all of its myriad of actual problems), none of those criticisms actually apply to.

EDIT: unborked the quotes.

Another foreign comrade who has reached salvation. Let us welcome them with open arms!

actually north korea is communist

They actually aren’t. And haven’t been for awhile. That’s according to their own official party line

okay but I don't think you should take your information from a line, maybe you should read a paragraph

[Thermodolia]

Sad in a pathetic way. Not sad in a heartbreaking way.



1. Its a state with money and social classes. By definition, that isn't communist.
2. They renounced socialism in one of KJU's constitutional changes a few years ago.
3. It, like every other state created by the Soviet Union, bears uncanny resemblances to other fascist states. Fascism is totalitarianism.

ok so if north korea is capitalist doesn't that mean capitalism makes people hungry

It’s not capitalist either. It follows a state planned economic system that doesn’t allow for anything else but it’s not socialism as the workers do not own the means of production.

The closest example is probably feudalism

Indeed, this is why we need more democratic republics in the world that are from the people. o7

I'd call it capitalism. Extremely dysfunctional state capitalism (even moreso than most other forms of capitalism, state or otherwise), but still very much capitalism.

I agree. Names have never lied, which is why all nations with the name democratic in their title definitely are.

Including North Korea and China.

True!

Unbelievably based and red pilled. China needs to send humanitarian aid to America and end American malnutrition today. /genuine

That's what I initially thought, and you disagreed. Regardless, I agree, they're having some ironic fun.
