The North Korea appreciation thread

[Western Fardelshufflestein]

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.

Got it, we need to destroy all capitalist countries.

Nah.

It's pathetic to see a group of people unironically claim North Korea of all places is democratic.

I think we should legitimately use /s and /genuine because I am lost as hell.

Excellent idea, comrade.

Don't worry, I'm sarcastic. (/s)

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

That’s an extremely loose definition of capitalism you got there. China is state capitalist, NK isn’t

I'm being genuine. (/s) (/s) (/s)

[Khoronzon]

I wholeheartedly support the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in its struggle against Western imperialism and global capitalist hegemony. /genuine

[Atheara]

This has gone to a hellhole quickly.

Indeed. If one state becomes capitalist then all other states will become capitalist. So we need to bomb capitalist countries in order to prevent their governments (capitalist) from bombing their own people (obviously).

we need to seize the means of production /s

I mean, if it isn't socialism (and I'd call communism a specific case of socialism), its capitalism (and I'd classify feudalism as a specific case of capitalism).

[Western Fardelshufflestein]

What about...Eastern imperialism? Northern imperialism? Sourthern imperialism? Central imperialism? Extraterrestrial imperialism? Antidisestablishmentarianism imperialism?

But is this not contradictory to the advice of Comrade Posadas, who wisely proposed waiting for the capitalist nations to bomb one another into submission?

There isn't a dichotomy of capitalism and socialism.

marxism understander has logged on

god capitalism kinda boring ngl

Then why is it called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Checkmate

[The Two Jerseys]

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 mean, the memes alone are enough to acknowledge that NoKo definitely has an impact on the world.

Is that Thomas the Tank Engine's new passenger coach?

I believe you have made a mistake in your writing, which I hope you will rectify. The wholehearted support for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, while enthusiastic and welcome, cannot exist by itself. It is also necessary for all comrades to support the Worker's Party of Korea and Supreme Leader Kim. The former is wholly responsible for the day to day functioning of the DPRK, while the latter carries high the banners of Juche and Songun which was first hoisted by his ancestors. He has proven himself a servant of the socialist cause and a great leader, devoting himself so purely to the Korean people that he works without a break through the years, paying due diligence to all matters. Without the WPK, who would we rely on? Without Comrade Kim, how could we live?

That’s a very binary system that has no basis in reality. Like most things in life economics is a spectrum and not a binary

[Western Fardelshufflestein]

I still don't get why we have Puerto Rico.
It has its own Olympic team, so why not??
(I'm not from PR, so of course I can't speak for them, but part of me wonders.)
