hello everyone - you may know me as @DylanMc6@hexbear.net. just recently, i got banned from hexbear for "history of repeating US state department talking points, anti-socialism and zionism", as well as possible "fedposting".

let me clarify that although i strongly support socialism and the ideas of liberating people from their corporate overlords, i am still learning about this. if anything that i've said on hexbear are considered "us state department talking points", as well as "antisocialism", "zionism" and even "fedposting" by the hexbear mods in any way, i sincerely apologize.

i personally disagree with stalinism, i mostly prefer the more libertarian forms of communism (like council communism, for example), but i'm open to hearing any and all perspectives from all parts of the socialist spectrum, whether it be marxism, leninism, stalinism/marxism-leninism, trotskyism, de leonism, social democracy, democratic socialism, georgism, libertarian socialism, market socialism, syndicalism, anarcho-communism, and even maoism and the likes.

i myself support a fusion of left-libertarianism, market socialism, georgism and de leonism. i'm also NOT a federal agent, i do NOT intend on entrapping people, and i oppose the actions of ice agents, as they are using force.

to any hexbear admin or mod, i apologize for any comment that i've made that can be seen as "repeating US state department talking points, antisocialism and zionism"

i really hope this clears that up.

what about the cult of personality of the dprk towards the ruling kim family?

The following is not a perfect article, but it goes into quite a bit of detail answering that question.

Table of contents
There is democracy not “autocracy”
There is no “cult of personality”

  1. there is democracy, NOT "autocracy": north korea did have multiple political parties such as a social democratic party and even a buddhist party, but those parties are in a coalition called the "Fatherland front"

  2. i said "cult of personality" because they treat the kim family (including current supreme leader kim jong-un) as if they were royalty - i think choe ryong-hae (the chair of the presidium) should've stayed recognized as the head of state after 2019, and he can be recognized as real royalty. seriously!

Are you making these points as arguments with me or with the table of contents on the article I linked that you didn't read? Because I didn't make any claims, I just quoted the section titles to make it clear the link was directly answering the exact question you asked Cowbee.

  1. you obviously DIDN'T make any claims

  2. is it okay i can have the link to the article you linked?

[–] Dirt_Possum@hexbear.net 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
  1. then why are you arguing with me? You're not arguing with the article because it's clear you didn't read it.
  2. wut. If you're asking me to link it again, ok, here but it's the same link you can click on if you scroll up 4 comments above this one.

okay, let me go over the article:

  1. there are people in government other than the kim dynasty - however, i do think the dprk are focusing a bit more on the kims, and should probably focus on the other people in government.
  2. the dprk's ideology is probably culturally conservative

that said, who's really in control of north korea; the supreme leader, or the chair of the standing committee of the supreme people's assembly?
