I’ve been speaking with other more informed communists and they’ve told me that none actually exist. Is this true?

China, Laos, and Vietnam: now notoriously capitalists. Workers work 12+ hours with no protection in horrible factory conditions. Suicide rates are so high that suicide nets are installed. The air is so polluted millions die from lung cancer, especially factory workers w/out basic masks. Corporations dominate

North Korea: Undemocratically ruled by the Kim dynasty. Jong un indulges lavishly at the expense of his citizens, ordering millions in fine wine and trips from Denis Rodman. They might be the most socialist though, as Juche seems to otherwise be democratic.

Cuba: Sanctions have taken a massive toll, but even taking that into account the country still has its own problems. They have massive food shortages and inventory probs and aren’t self sufficient after 60+ years. Why couldn’t they’ve use machinery imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery? The Soviets supported them heavily. They seem to be incredibly mismanaged or corrupt

Anyway, here are the 10 principles as they were originally written. How do you feel about them?

That’s weird they wrote em in English

No, what’s weird is you won’t answer my question.

Perhaps you know that on one hand, if you condemn these, you will have become an apostate in the eyes of North Korea stans…

Condem what?, I have no idea what this is, or how it applies to DRPK governance. Some of the language is kinda sus but again its just standing alone out there, translated by whomever, and most importantly not written as legal language. Next you’ll be wanting me to condemn the word authority or some such nonsense. You keep posting this like it’s some sort of gotcha. The us constitution read uncritically seems nice but it is real shit.

Here read this for some commie law writing:

Unless you are admitting to not reading any of the previous posts before you replied, you know exactly what it is.

Instead of deflecting, let’s talk about the 10 principles and whether you find them acceptable or not. I understand this might cause some discomfort for you, because for some reason, many leftists like to treat the doctrine of many countries like holy scripture that must not be condemned, or must be interpreted in a certain way. I’m not that kind of religious person, though.

Why would you expect them to answer your questions? I was talking to you, not them.
