Can we perhaps not quote the Kim family for a sane discussion about communism?
Or are you suggesting dictatorships is something that communism always leads to? Considering the history of communism around the world, it's a valid argument.
@ExtremeDullard @protestation
The Kim's are communist whether you like it or not, and this quote is very much in line with the communist position on bourgeois democracy. Also, communism does, or at least is should, always lead to the dictatorship of the proletariat, which is not a dictatorship in the traditional sense. It's the "dictatorship" of the proletarian class, and if you think otherwise, then you clearly need to read more Marx and Lenin.
Yeah but.. Who says something matters too, even though confusing the message and the messenger is a logical fallacy. Hitler was right about the dangers of smoking but you don't often hear tobaccologists quote Hitler.
