The Black Panther Party had close ties with the DPRK, so that’s not really unreasonable. Leftist groups historically have had support for the DPRK, especially in context of the US Empire’s attempted genocide of northern Koreans.
I don’t know anything about the black panther support of North Korea, but I also don’t really see how that’s relevant. Today, they are a repressive dictatorship. Just because they call themselves “democratic” does not mean they actually are, and just because they claim to be communist does not mean leftists should support them.
I mention the Black Panthers because they are one of the more beloved and successful leftist groups in US history, and absolutely deserve to be taken seriously. You’re right, claiming to be democratic and communist doesn’t make a group democratic nor communist, what matters is their structure. Democratically, they have approval-based voting, and 3 political parties. There are also factory councils for direct worker management. Public ownership is the principle aspect of their economy.
More than anything, their self-determination in the face of a brutal empire sanctioning them into starvation should be supported, even if you don’t agree with their structure.
I’m not “brainwashed” for sharing the opinions of the majority of major communist parties. I’m a communist, and my views are consistent with that. The WPK has the overwhelming majority of seats, but is also popularly supported, and does not have direct control over who people vote for. These are “tankie,” sure, they’re views shared by the majority of communists and “tankie” is just a pejorative for us.
I encourage you to look into how the DPRK actually functions, as well as its inception as an indigenous movement against colonization by Japan and later the US.
If this is what it takes to get on your hate list, then why are you here?! Youd have to add most users from this instance and our wonderful admins too because were all marxists here who dont drink the empire koolaid on DPRK 😂
Why should anyone care what an unironic North Korea supporter thinks about American politics?
I think he likes seeing the funny red number on his profile go up. They think red is the people’s color or something.

Half the people on the bottom half of the image are also marxists. So I honestly have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about.
