I like Nodutdol’s Korea Education Toolkit for beginners. Doesn’t require being a Marxist-Leninist or anything. I also recommend Blowback Season 3, but for Blowback I’d start with Season 1 as it’s all good and relevant. Like the first rec, doesn’t require you to be a Marxist-Leninist to understand.
Do you disagree with the source posted, or are you averting your eyes so you don’t have to see direct refutations of your claims?
No? We aren’t fooling anyone, you’ve provided no evidence and have been given hard facts disproving you, from the UN to western organizations. You’re dogmatically rejecting material reality because it doesn’t conform to your chauvanist views of Koreans.
It’s extremely common for citizens of the DPRK to visit, live, and/or work in the PRC. The two countries are on favorable terms. The DPRK and ROK are at war, defectors are treated by both sides as such. The overwhelming majority of cases where it’s claimed that the families of defectors are punished are bullshit tall tales.
There is no “soviet era brainwashing.” Brains do not get “washed” by information or special beams, people by and large seek out information that supports their world outlook. What you’re doing is ignoring concrete reality to peddle racist views of Koreans with a “get out of jail free card,” and simply use ableist attacks against those providing evidence against your baseless claims.
DPRK defectors are notorious for spinning tall tales for cash, because a huge number are unemployed due to workplace discrimination.
In communism? Probably not. In socialism? Yes, as class struggle has not been negated yet.
It’s a joke, this is a meme community. The joke is that even if you’re wrong in your analysis, you’re still probably correct in blaming the US for it because of how monstrous and influential the US Empire is.
You asked for proof, and now mock people for giving it to you. This is extremely online behavior.
Gotcha, thanks! I might dig myself later, but this looks good!
You can read bibles in China. Freedom of religion does exist in the PRC. China has more freedom for its working classes than exists in, say, the US Empire.
It’s extremely common for citizens of the DPRK to visit, live, and/or work in the PRC. The two countries are on favorable terms. The DPRK has no “gulags,” the GULAG administration was a part of the early-mid soviet penal system, it isn’t a generic term for prisons in socialist countries.
Self-expression, I would argue, heightens in socialism and communism, as your existence is less tied to your ability to generate profits for others and your needs are more taken care of. The individualism socialists fight against is the anti-social type, the kind that seeks to profit off of others and compete with them, rather than work together to achieve the best outcome for everyone. This does not go counter to self-expression.
They do already, many work in China for example.
Marxism helps people make fewer mistakes, thanks to the analytical tool of dialectical materialism.
Can you explain how socialism is a cult?
