I Am A Marxist Communist

The DPRK's ascendance over the last couple decades, even after the barrage of attacks laid against it by the imperialist powers and after the collapse of the USSR, is something of a miracle. I am legitimately inspired by the nation's story when I think about the kinds of trials the Korean people have had to face and how they braved it out and established the country as a thriving and independent force for socialism. It throws into striking relief the lie that individuals in society cannot work together and show true, comradely concern for one another's welfare. This is no small task either. They pulled this off in the face of war, invasion, embargo, sanction, and demonization nigh unparalleled in history.

Look where it is now. They've survived so long and managed to bounce back from attack so many times and with such finesse that now the president of the United States is forced to admit over national television that the imperialists are going to back off and play nice. (Whether that's true or not is inconsequential.) This is thanks in no small part due to the impressive weapons programme the DPRK developed, one of deterrence which by all accounts seems to have worked. I would dare say that I'd be disappointed if the DPRK denuclearized because I'd be worried about its fate afterward. Luckily, the administration seems entirely cognizant of this possibility and has been quite stern about forming its alliances and shoring up for potential betrayal.

Kim Jong-un has dutifully carried his forefathers' legacy forward by representing a firm and resolute face of revolution, and I commend him for his noble efforts. He manages with great zeal, as did comrade Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, to rouse the spirit of the masses to be politically involved and to work hand-in-hand with the administration to keep the country as lively and prosperous and safe as possible.

Long live the DPRK. Happy new year, Juche 108!

Yeah, nothing more admirable than a hereditary tyranny starving a few million people.

What would make me feel better is if every fucking socialist on earth were forced to face reality and understand that economic freedom is the essential freedom of every human and socialism is the antithesis of economic freedom..@gol979

@redredred you're on about the free market, yes? So which school of economic theory (you should know, being an "economist") pertains to the free market?
redredred · M
the usual reference is the Chicago or Austrian school but the free market is simply the original "school" of economics. Two free adults making a contract to freely exchange one good for another. Its the economic system that doesnt require government force to work.

Now, give me your planned quibble based on unimportant details.@gol979
you know.. i have some interest in socialist

@YukikoAmagi I strongly recommend getting into some readings, especially by Marx and Mao. (Rosa Luxemburg is also a favourite of mine.) There are a lot of great groups on the internet that can get you introduced and to whom you can ask questions as well. And I'm always open too, of course.

Haaaaaaa you ever live under communism

@Goralski Tragically, no, but I associate with a lot of comrades who have, and most of them seemed to have had a lovely time and wish to go back.

@SourPennies good luck with that

@Razorback It does and I would if I knew Spanish? Although, frankly, the point of socialism is to change the society you live in, so I'd rather just keep doing work with communist groups in my own country to change it. At any rate, I know several comrades from Cuba who are doing just fine.

Is this the official SW account of the DPRK?
SourPennies · 31-35, F
@DDonde No, I'm just a normal communist who happens to really like the DPRK. It's my favourite AES state.
DDonde · 31-35, M
@SourPennies I see.
