This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

We're living in a time when it seems people are identifying their own Sinophobia or anti-China programming, and of course there is something similar going on with the Zionist state.

What are productive ways to talk about North Korea if you must? Some ideas I have:

  • 'I like positive depictions of North Korean people/Korean culture'
  • 'Regardless of what you feel about any place's government, it is always good to see an increase in standards of living'
  • any remarks or analysis about sanctions, for example talking about how sanctions don't actually accomplish the popularly ascribed goals, but instead directly target the most vulnerable people in a society (with the stated goal of "making the people dislike their government" as if that is not the most mask-off thing politicians say)
  • maybe some framing of Korea as a land that has been under occupation for 75 years straight if that resonates

Thoughts???

Its important to highlight the slander and continuous violence brought against them. The one-sided aggression.

NK is the legitimate successor of the Korean People's Republic, the south was literally the americans putting their own citizen and japanese collaborators on the throne. North Korea has a protestant presence since its foundation.

Bring attention to the continuous crimes committed against NK, despite north koreans NEVER having attacked the west. The Nuclear bombs on Japan killed 22k korean slave labourers. One in seven nuclear bombing victims in Hiroshima was of korean descent.

The US partook in the Jeju massacre killing up to 100k people, South Korea killed 200k communists causing NK to invade, the us then killed 25% of NK population and destroyed 75% of its infrastructure.

The north lacked agricultural lands (historically located in the south or china's dongbei region) and so is very food insecure and needs petroleum agricultural machinery and imports from Russia to nourish itself. The collapse of the soviet union and america's sanction on oil imports (as well as sabotaging NK agriculture by paying saboteurs to cut off the tails of laboring animals), caused massive starvation. Modern UN sanctions have also "violated" their own standards and had an adverse effect on the populace.
