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.

Wisconcom is back again 🙄 http://archive.today/2025.07.19-035527/https://lemmy.world/u/Saulw

He’s technically not on Lemmygrad, so I guess he hasn’t broken the deal that @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml proposed.

BTW do you have official DPRK sources on what their GDP for 2023 or 2024 is ? All I can find are Bank of Korea (i.e. South Korea) estimates and I have absolutely no reason to trust these.

There is a book that have plenty of sources from the DPRK in regard to their GDP and other economic indicators:

Phillip H. Park, History of Economic Management in North Korea, Routledge, London & New York 2025 -> https://1lib.sk/book/116565577/4da96d/history-of-economic-management-in-north-korea-from-planned-economy-to-socialist-enterprise-system.html

That makes approximatively 10% growth a year, which is strong but not too surprising when compared with typical USSR (under Stalin) or chinese growth figures. Also the reference year is a covid year, in which I expect production was slightly lower, which could make for slightly stronger growth figures (but still very impressive).

It's really great to see the DPRK growing this fast, especially when compared with the failing economy of the south.
