Leftist theory : “North Korea deserves our support despite being a repressive corrupt dictatorship because they have communist aesthetics”
Yeah that’s why people support North Korea. They really love empty communist aesthetics. Not because they have a command economy or democratic centralism or are besieged by Western powers after attempted genocide against them.
They don’t even really have communist aesthetics anymore, they talk more about Juche than Marxism-Leninism, and I haven’t seen them carry a portrait of Lenin or Marx at a military parade since Kim Jong-il was in charge.
Command economy =/= socialism. They don’t even have a proper functioning command economy like the USSR, they are mostly liberalized. They are a capitalist country with nationalized businesses and a massive private black market. It’s purely their aesthetics that attracts Western leftist support. No western leftist actually wants to implement the policies that NK implements.
Never said a command economy was socialist. But many Leninists support command economies as a transitional system to socialism, and since NK has a command economy, they support NK. Also they never “mostly liberalized”, attempts at liberalization within the special economic zones were largely failures. Most of the economy is state-owned.
You’re trying to come up with some weird logic as to why people disagree with you about NK. I’ll tell you now: people don’t disagree with you because they’re all fake radlib aesthetic-loving PMC idpol Western leftist red fascist authoritarian tankies.
Idk what do you think should happen to North Korea? Imo the country gets supported or it becomes part of South Korea
and why does all the lib shit rely on assuming you’r ea child?
wait, stupid question.
Lol speaking of lemonade stands my local news had a feel good story about a couple of little girls’ lemonade stand. Their dad paid for a city food stand license and for a supplier for the lemonade or something. It’s so bizarre to cover it as an enterprising way to earn some extra pocket money when the start up cost is probably north of $10k.
The size of the text is making me wish I had reading glasses lol
Sorry I made it really quickly on a bad app, after posting i realized that it was hard to read but it was too late :/
All liberal theory is ridiculous thought experiments divorced from reality. “What if two people were living on a deserted island, one of them had a unicorn and the rate of interest was constant?”
