Remind me, what happened to Rosa again?

You just said this lol

I’ve read Marx, I’ve moved on from Marx. You guys clearly haven’t; or at least, you haven’t moved on from Lenin.

Sure, but use proper sources.

I'm partial to full process people's democracy and other participatory democratic and consensus generating models

Correctly too.

And other unsourced, unsupported, and racist claims, presented by your local liberal.

Mao killing the sparrows during the four pests campaign was bad. The cultural revolution produced excesses that didn't need to happen if it was handled better.

Oh look nobody on hexbear is going to hate on this comment.

Ah, what sort of anarchist political theory have you read?

Strange, I do not uncritically support any of those democracies (I assume you mean USSR when you say Russia) and I keep being called tankie.

Tankie is to liberals as woke is to right liberals and fascists.

Also it is CPC, CCP has racist connotations and also isn't what they're called.

Smh, anti-tankies supporting anglo backed mass anti-semitic violence

Yeah I'm going to wait until the war is done, because this all seems highly anecdotal. Thanks for being intellectually honest about where you're coming from though.

How much Russian do you speak?

You know that real world socialist states don't have a homelessness problem anywhere approaching the west, especially the US, right?

The only fantasy here is in your capitalist realism soaked brain.

but certainly far more on the Russian side...

Can you give a credible source to this claim?

This is classist. Most homeless people don't suffer from addiction. Something like 40 percent are alcoholics and 25 percent use harder drugs.

The cia literally called him redder than red and unable to be corrupted by money lmao

A socialist state where housing is a guarantee and where poverty doesn't lead to widespread drug use because it doesn't exist. Also addiction recovery programs in the transitional state.

Why. What is yours, push them into a comically large blender? Or a prison, how about a prison?

Also acquired in the context of preventing the world superpower from killing 20 percent of them again without them having to spend so much on their conventional military.

But are you purporting this agricultural system as effective?

It isnt their agricultural system, I would suggest you reread the whole thing because you've missed the most important aspect of what taean means. It means a collaboration between organized local labor and wider democracy, overseen by special interests such as the woman's league.

Further I assume you bring that no fact up as argument that collectivist style policy is effective and happening, I would argue it is ineffective and still only a farce under authoritarianism. Else why would nk receive aid, and experience famine?

Why would you argue it is ineffective? Studies show the cooperatives work better than privately owned businesses. Also you haven't established that the dprk is "authoritarian" any more than any other state.

They experienced famine after the collapse of the USSR, theyre doing fine on food now.

Lastly, I don't need to know the economic history of the country to know where they are now. It's not propaganda that got me here, it's their own words and reports.

Well, you should. They tried to liberate the south when the US and US puppet dictator were killing tens of thousands of protestors. 20 percent of them died and all their infrastructure was bombed. After the war they did better under a socialist economy than the South until the US massively subsidized the South and the USSR collapsed, cutting off trade because of sanctions from the people who committed genocide on them (the US)

I would like to know what "own words and reports" you're referring to.

Quick, tell me about the taean work system, which is used in all medium and large workplaces, without googling it. Since you're so informed about the dprk

(The point of this is to make you reconsider how much you actually know about the country that isnt just straight up propaganda)
