Reactionary, old, prole-hating pervert is intercepted by the state before he can do a terrorism and is rehabilitated with no lasting harm done to his person.

Long live Ingsoc, Glory to Oceania! The thought police are here... for you.

I like to look at the DPRK and try to find these mysterious PRISON CAMPS I've heard so much about.

Mostly just awe-inspiring nature and beautiful architecture. Most google reviews for places in the DPRK are malding libs who've never left Nowhere, Minnesota owning the Koreans. Funny in its sadness.

I did say most, but I appreciate the clarification.

Nasser, Qasim, Hussein, Gadaffi, Mossadegh, Árbenz. None of them communists, but all had something in common: nationalization of local industry as policy. All were also demonized, hated, and most even directly murdered by U.S. intelligence.

Empire fears the communist movement because nationalization has proven inherent to its implementation. Nationalization is the greatest fear of empire, though, as it rips production (and profit) from the stranglehold of foreign exploiters and brings it that much closer to the native toilers.

I've thought about this but with American flag rolling papers. Patriotic potheads buy it for the design, revolutionaries buy it for a chance to burn Old Glory 🔥🇺🇸🔥

Hell, I'll take a revisionist Russia. Glad to hear they never abandoned socialism, at least.

1991 who?

It's like being a monarchist who works in retail. They think they'll be king when their revolution happens, completely oblivious to their predetermined role as serf.

"Literally everybody on the internet has a 1.4 terabyte folder full of child and animal sexual abuse material. Right, guys?"

I wonder if date r*pists justify spiking drinks by assuming everyone else in the bar is also drugging someone. I'd bet they do.

Your decision could only be compared to selecting J. Edgar Hoover to portray Martin Luther King Jr.

the fucking caucasity

U.S.'s "National Public Radio".

Don't let the name fool you, they receive more private funding than public funding. They even got mad at Musk for slapping a "U.S. government-affiliated media" label on their Twitter account, crying, "no, in fact, we're almost 99% privately owned!" and ditching the platform.

I have liked a couple of their programs, but even their best program cannot escape the confines of the liberal braincage.

Oh, during Bush's presidency, they banned the word torture from being used in any of their pieces detailing his administration, claiming it was a loaded and biased term to describe waterboarding. So.

Islam will liberate Taiwan inshallah

I've done it before. It's not a bad idea. Thanks!

Even if the supplements don't do much, it'll make me feel less bad about missing the sun so much and placebo can do its work.

I used to like winter. I used to be depressed year-round.

Hate winter, now. Midwest blows. Convinced I have seasonal affective disorder. Convinced you're abnormal if you live in the midwest and don't have it.

I was going on walks, working out. Now I don't wanna leave the house, ever. Winter blows.

Working retail at this time of year is hilarious. Thanksgiving and the 4th of July were panic-inducing enough. Inching closer to Christmas... can't wait for all those last-minute shoppers.

The DPRK (WPK) maintained principled stances before, during and after having 90% of their infrastructure leveled, 10% of their population killed, and their country brutally occupied and divided by imperial powers from all sides. They maintained their principles during the Sino-Soviet split. The collapse of the USSR. They have survived tragedy after tragedy and remained principled throughout it all.

I am not saying that the PRC does not help the DPRK. I am also not accusing you of being chauvinistic. I, however, think this is a chauvinistic idea, that the DPRK can only survive because of its socialist superpower neighbor(s). The DPRK has survived because of the DPRK.

To be entirely honest, I've been basing that understanding majorly on this now-dead article (totally possible it got removed for being too pro-DPRK by the south Korean government).

Re-reading it, it weighs projected growth vs. actual growth between OECD countries and the DPRK. The DPRK does not currently seem to be reaching those goals, but I will say that five-year plans do take time. Typically five years, lol.

Here is comrade @afellowkid's translated summary:

Most certainly fair. I would be interested in knowing more about what average Chinese people think of Kissinger. I am hopeful it is generally not quite this level of admiration.

It is important to understand the context within which this is said, and I agree that the PRC writ large has not (quoting myself) totally "abandoned internationalism".

These statements, though, this praise, taken at face value, reads that way to me, and I'm certain it reads that way to those who were directly affected by Kissinger's policymaking. It is nationalistic -- the only internationalism present here is between the PRC and the U.S. bourgeoisie and MIC. Kissinger did far more harm than good to the international proletariat, to millions of people, and I do take umbrage with this level of praise coming from communists.

The PRC is not immune to criticism, and I am aware that many of us are the rather hypocritical westoleftos levying this criticism against the PRC, but this is a communist forum, no? It is one of our tasks to rectify incorrect ideas and criticize incorrect actions so that we as communists may grow from them.

It's not like it would have been a great idea to shit on his legacy. But if Chinese leaders genuinely think this will win them any favors with the ever increasingly Sinophobic U.S. ruling class, I think they're dead wrong. I, and many others, think it's worse than saying nothing. It is little more than hot air to the people they're ostensibly trying to placate, and it is downright offensive to those who suffered and died from U.S. imperialism during his tenure.

I have not found any official Vietnamese English-language statements on his death, but this is from SCMP. Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos's foreign ministries have all, at this point in time, decided to stay silent on the matter.

Describing him as a “war criminal”, Ho Chi Minh City-based student Anh Nguyen, 23, said she hoped “he died with deep regrets about what he did”, reflecting a history shared through the generations by the Vietnamese Communist Party victors.

Condemning the Nobel award, history graduate Bui Khanh Minh of the Fulbright University Vietnam said Kissinger “crippled the country” during the Christmas bombing campaign of 1972 that pushed the Viet Cong to the negotiating table. “As someone from Hanoi … that decision by him and Nixon sparks a particularly personal resentment,” she said.

Will have to wait and see if any more statements are made.

I believe we may be misunderstanding one another. I do not intend for criticize to equate to condemn.

You do not, in any case, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Kissinger. They could have remained silent. They did not. Their words merit criticism.

Venerating genocidal scum in such a manner because he facilitated the detente between the U.S. and China under the pretext of completely obliterating the only other socialist superpower and siphoning China's potential wealth to the core, genocidal scum that also facilitated the murder of MILLIONS elsewhere -- I just do not understand how criticizing this behavior is worthy of such malice.

Not to be overly dramatic, but the PRC here reads to be abandoning internationalist solidarity with - I repeat - the MILLIONS of people Kissinger is in no small part responsible for murdering going straight up ignored.

Right now, CGTN is running hype pieces for this warmongering filth.

I'm sorry, but if this doesn't make you seethe, cringe, or vomit, at least a little fucking bit, what kind of socialist are you?

Cambodia would like a word with those of us who see this and yell "pragmatism! material reality! you're all ultraleftists for taking issue with this!"

The man was responsible for the deaths of MILLIONS. It is a sad state of affairs when the PRC's communist leadership is lauding him as a friend, be it genuine or merely a diplomatic ploy. Caveat, caveat, caveat, pragmatism, China's history, Sino-Soviet split... yes, yes. Regardless. Millions.
