ICBM tests do fly in a very high arc though, the point is to test the range while making it clear that no one should be worried about it striking them.
but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?
Nope! Look at the life expectancy increases under socialist countries, they mathematically have less death!
Also compare red terrors casualty numbers to standard operating casualty numbers. Like 20 million people die of capitalism caused deprivation a year worldwide today.
DPRK trivia- the dprk has universal suffrage and secret ballot. The highest authority in the country is the Supreme people's assembly with 687 representatives.
US trivia: the US prohibits itself from arming governments credibly accused of significant humanitarian crimes, but then turns the other eye when it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge significant humanitarian crimes.
Like during the genocide in Palestine, where Biden keeps shipping weapons and Blinken has been told to or chosen to keep his eyes closed and his ears stuffed with cotton while his subordinates keep bringing reports of Israeli crimes.
While I agree that Republicans are fascists, isn't that kind of whataboutism? We aren't talking about Republicans, we are talking about democrat policy that is more likely to be used on BLM or pro-palestine protestors than some Trump supporters.
Ze protestors are destabilizing our glorious empire, ze must be dealt with harshly for ze peace and stability of ze greater reich! /s
Trump just straight up isn't a populist? Fascists are pseudo-populists at best. They don't actually care about democracy or what the majority want, just like liberals (using marxist definition of liberal)
I mean we have two parties fundamentally representing similar donor interests, they swap controlled opposition roles which is more convincing than one party constantly being controlled opposition.
The US, and bourgeois democracies in general, have less political variation than one party socialist democracies. In China you have everyone from liberals (right wingers) to Maoists in government. In the US you basically only have liberals and scratched liberals.
