ahhh yes... horrible as in:

• guaranteed housing and employment
• a non-discriminatory education system
• 0% unemployment
• low taxes
• an actually functional railway network
• a highly developed health care system that didn't discriminate on basis of class
• guaranteed childcare
• womens rights way more advanced than in western germany at the time
• and most importantly no fascists in government

and no, i dont wanna say that there were no deficiencies, but it is rather obvious to me that it was quite the opposite of "horrible"!

also, what the hell do you mean by "pretty socialist"?

thank you, comrade!

one thing i might add is the fact that most if not all of the propagated lies about the dprk are projection. sexual slavery was a thing the american occupation forces engaged in massively and south korean dictator pak chong-hui was killed during a dinner party with a underage concubine present. later, haircut policing was a thing in the south during the 1980s under chon tu-hwan. the most prominent korean defector, pak yon-mi is a white supremacist btw.

i believe that the whole hacking thing is massively exaggerated by western media as part of their whole "the enemy is both weak and strong"-strategy. it is both a way to engineer further fear mongering against korea, as well as to mask their own incompetence. but even if im wrong and they are indeed from the dprk, i still find them quite based and funny tbh.

do you happen to have any resources on the lgbt situation within the county? i would love to educate myself on the topic.

i also slightly disagree with you on china. they never seized being a socialist state, but have sadly become revisionist since deng. that doesnt make them any less worthy of critical support though.

i originally wanted to point out how ironic it is that a .world user wants to talk about site culture, but considering that you arent even capable of writing the word lemmy, its probably pointless.

во-первых, социал-демократы ни в коем случае не являются социалистами, они обычно даже не претендуют на это. их истинная лояльность была достаточно продемонстрирована тем фактом, что меньшевики встали на сторону белых, а германский спд приказал фрайкорпусу (будущему ss) убивать спартакистов. анархисты, с другой стороны, представляют собой большую группу различных типов людей, из которых только часть претендует на социализм (синдикалисты, анкомы итд).

однако все это не имеет никакого значения, поскольку эти группы никогда не смогли добиться ни хрена. все их начинания провалились весьма плачевно, например, в испании. в отличие от мл, которые действительно смогли улучшить жизнь людей, поскольку они понимали, что репрессивные меры абсолютно необходимы для выживания государства. просто посмотри, как быстро соцблок превратился в абсолютно дерьмовую ситуацию, в которой мы находимся сегодня, после того как горби сделал то, что он сделал.

о кндр достаточно хорошо известно, что ложь, распространяемая западными сми, в основном является лишь проекцией того, что исторически делалось в оккупированной южной корее. почитай на эту тему книгу "патриоты, предатели и империи" стивена гованса. даже если ты все равно хочешь быть против северокорейского правительства, именно в этом и заключается критическая часть критической поддержки.

thanks for the great work work! educating liberals is tedious.

you sadly seem to still be chewing american propaganda. russia was demanding that the ukraine would return to the status of of neutrality that it had before the 2014 cia-backed neonazi coup. the demilitarization is necessary, just like the denazification in order to guarantee an absence of any further military threat to the russian population within the country, a population that the current fascist ukrainian government previously tried to mass murder. also belarus is clearly not a puppet state of anybody, despite nato propaganda painting it as such. just look at their economic relations.

also, russia is currently a vital part in the worldwide anti imperialist axis of resistance, and while i would argue that the government should be doing more to help the palestinians, it is still much better than any western nation.

you could start with yourself

the us

israel

the west in general

liberalism

the bourgeoisie

please go meet bandera

you are the one who cheered on the mass murder and rape of russian civilians by azov fascists since 2014.

except of course for the blatant racism against non-western people, the current shift towards neofash politics (meloni etc), the militarization and the impeding economic collapse.

how do liberals manage to ignore problems so efficiently?
