God if there’s anything that goes more well together, it is that both Maoists and the Liberals both hate the DPRK.
How on earth is the DPRK a ‘semi-colony’? What the fuck even is a semi-colony? You’re either under imperialism (which the majority of the world is) or you’re imperialist. There’s little to no nations which are not imperialised. This can be applied to colonialism, as colonialism is a form of imperialism.
Secondly, the DPRK is the most isolationist out of the 5 socialist nations, even more so than Cuba. They do, however, primarily trade with China. Is China and the DPRK exchanging resources with each other an act of exploitation? Because it isn’t.
Also the DPRK is somehow fascist. Basically undermining fascism and what it truly means. I mean the Naxalites in India called Gandhi a fascist at one point, so I’m not surprised.
Juche is not a ‘useless’ philosophy. It’s a philosophy that applies well to the DPRK. We can discuss whether Juche is universal or not, but what matters is that the Juche ideology works well for the DPRK, and it is concrete towards the nation. There is no bourgeois class in the DPRK in the same manner that there is no bourgeois class in the USSR.
Also standing against ‘revisionism’. I agree. We must stand against Maoism, as it is inherently revisionist. Not against the so-called ‘revisionist’ nations like China or DPRK.
The South China Sea is a complicated territory that cannot be answered through the use of sea territories only. Actually, in regards to the ‘imperialism’ of the South China Sea, China only has 8 installations within the South China Sea meanwhile the Philippines has 10. Vietnam has 25, Malaysia 7, and Taiwan has 2.
So your claim that China is actively imperialising the territory is false. If anything, Vietnam is the one that is actively doing it. But like I said, this question cannot be answered through territorial claims alone.
Laos really hasn’t put anything revolutionary regarding theory-wise, and combined with the fact that Laos never really was unique among its other nations (China with Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, DPRK with Juche), it just kind of fell into obscurity for the most part.
Nonetheless, it would be ideal to study this as long as we got theory for it. Unfortunately, the theory is sparse or hard to find, meaning that we don’t really have a solid basis.
Ancaps are worse than ancoms, but that doesn’t make ancoms right in any significant sense.
