the nuremberg trials didnt go nearly as far as they should have.

looks like bucket technology didnt see much progress in the last 1800 years.

zionism always was a vile ideology. i am happy that more people are beginning to see it for what it is.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

thank you for this recommendation! i hope i can convince my friends to start using it

linux, unironically. literally all local infrastructure is running on windows, despite the security risks this entails.

i wouldnt say that we are “the most sanctioned”, as in comparison to cuba or korea were basically unrestricted. video kinda just looks like click bait honestly.

edit: i just read that un sanctions have been lifted from the dprk thanks to russia vetoing their renewal. i guess were now the most sanctioned indeed

why are right wingers like you triggered by absolutely everything? the meme has nothing political about it and you are seething!

also, please learn how to spell rubles

while others again might want the man to be the bear.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

you are a criminal.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

i originally wanted to point out how ironic it is that a .world user wants to talk about site culture, but considering that you arent even capable of writing the word lemmy, its probably pointless.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

thank you, comrade!

one thing i might add is the fact that most if not all of the propagated lies about the dprk are projection. sexual slavery was a thing the american occupation forces engaged in massively and south korean dictator pak chong-hui was killed during a dinner party with a underage concubine present. later, haircut policing was a thing in the south during the 1980s under chon tu-hwan. the most prominent korean defector, pak yon-mi is a white supremacist btw.

i believe that the whole hacking thing is massively exaggerated by western media as part of their whole “the enemy is both weak and strong”-strategy. it is both a way to engineer further fear mongering against korea, as well as to mask their own incompetence. but even if im wrong and they are indeed from the dprk, i still find them quite based and funny tbh.

do you happen to have any resources on the lgbt situation within the county? i would love to educate myself on the topic.

i also slightly disagree with you on china. they never seized being a socialist state, but have sadly become revisionist since deng. that doesnt make them any less worthy of critical support though.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

hey, idk why you got removed, you were talking about an interesting topic.

i obviously didnt watch the stream, since i dont have so much free time on my hands, but having read the comments i believe to have more or less gotten the gist of what they are saying. its the usual talking points.

this old r/genzedong thread does imho a great job on providing evidence that china does in fact not fit lenins criteria for a imperialist nation, even if one were to assume that it has a capitalist economy. (cw coarse language though)

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago (edited 7 days ago)

ahhh yes… horrible as in:

• guaranteed housing and employment
• a non-discriminatory education system
• 0% unemployment
• low taxes
• an actually functional railway network
• a highly developed health care system that didn’t discriminate on basis of class
• guaranteed childcare
• womens rights way more advanced than in western germany at the time
• and most importantly no fascists in government

and no, i dont wanna say that there were no deficiencies, but it is rather obvious to me that it was quite the opposite of “horrible”!

also, what the hell do you mean by “pretty socialist”?

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

im sorry but you seem to have been fed quite a few western myths about the gdr. you seem to be arguing in good faith though, so lets examine:

no freedom of movement

this is just plain wrong. tourism was possible and encouraged not only within the country, but also to fellow socialist states like czechoslovakia and hungary, as well as, albeit to a lesser extent the soviet union. such trips were enjoyed by virtually the entire population thanks to guaranteed vacation time.

constant shortage of goods

shortages were only a thing in the immediate aftermath of ww2, as well as during the 1980s. in the second case they were caused by the economic liberalization enacted at the time due to western pressure, as well as the general deterioration of conditions in the eastern block at the time, which happened for similar reasons. during the late 60s and 70s per capita consumption was more or less equal to the west.

being a dictatorship

every state is necessarily a dictatorship, as this is important for class preservation. just as liberal states will mercilessly crush revolutionary elements, so must socialist societies crush counterrevolutionary ones. please read engels on authority to understand this point better. it is a short read and very eye opening.

a housing shortage

any source on this claim? the only periods i can imagine this to be the case is in the beginning due to war era destruction and the end due to crisis.

a culture so dictated by work that people had little to no free time

this is in fact a valid point. a solution for this could have been found within the socialist system though.

political pressure

already answered previously in the point about “dictatorship”.

control over the media

“All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake “public opinion” for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.”

– v. i. lenin

the fucking stasi

the mfs was necessary due to the constant threat of counterrevolution going out from west germany. but its reach and capabilities are much overblown in western propaganda nowadays. in fact, the east spent much less on its intelligence apparatus than the frg while still managing to have a lower crime rate.

the goals you stated are extremely noble and i do in fact agree with every single one of them. you are being idealist though, which means that you absolutely need to read theory, especially lenin. a good reading list can be found here. if you would educate yourself properly you could become a great contribution to the communist movement.

виновен

yeah the state department point was probably a little harsh and generalizing of me, though i am indeed quite pissed how reactionaries like vaush or keffals are appropriating leftist aesthetics in order to shill for us imperialism. i am also standing with my statement about ancoms & co not getting anything done, sorry.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

why are reactionaries always assuming that their opponents are children? only because you are a teenager living within the imperial core, consuming nothing but nato propaganda, you shouldnt assume that everyone else is an equivalent.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 10 days ago

in order to appreciate socialism, one must have studied capitalism. yet you liberals are so smug, having studied neither.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 9 days ago

what do you mean? the lack of cia talking points here is really refreshing imho. on reddit everything is drowned in a sea of “communism bad”-bots.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 9 days ago

so all youre telling me that after the county was almost completely destroyed during ww2, the situation was dire? no fucking shit, sherlock.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 9 days ago

what exactly?

imnotfromkaliningrad, 9 days ago

why? thats just a fact. a liberal state is the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, while a socialist state is the dictatorship of the proletariat.

imnotfromkaliningrad, 9 days ago

thats exactly what the dictatorship of the proletariat is for! after the exploiting classes are eliminated, the state will wither away, leaving a classless society, aka communism. this takes much time though.
