    You have a lifetime of anti communist propaganda to overcome. You’re close, take the last step and realize you’ve been lied to about AES countries. No place is a utopia, but those countries are lights in the dark.

      this most of us, myself included grew up believing the same things you do about China and the DPRK and every other socialist state. Because thats what we are all told living in the West under capitslist liberal regimes. We already know all this propganda you’re repeating to us. We learned to see past it and seek out actual information about these places to understand for ourselves.

      Internationalism is the most important aspect of socialism. If you choose to believe nationalist western propganda over people you should be in solidarity with, you will only help your oppressors

        That’s a fair question. There’s a reason why authoritarian nations don’t have immigration issues, unlike virtually all of the west.

        People aren’t stupid; they can pretty easily see through nationalist bullshit and figure out which, if they have to leave their own country, are going to be the best countries to land in.

        Guess what? Nobody wants to immigrate to Russia or China or Cuba or Venezuela. Full stop.

      That’s what North Koreans see at night when they look across the border towards South Korea.

          The war was even more devastating to the South. It’s their incompetence, not US bombing.

          They were(and still somewhat are) being backed by commie friends who were also as incompetent and, as the op says, not even commies but just dirty dictators.

          South’s growth, while the U.S.s’ (and Japans’) support was crucial, cannot be simplified by that.

          And even if U.S.s’ bombing is the only reason they’re failing, who’s to blame? They started the war that even other commie dictators thought that it’s one of the stupidest war to start from one of the stupidest dictators in the world, Kim Il Sung.

        The US prevented a democratic unified korea and killed 20 percent of all Koreans. MacArthur had to have his nuclear command secreted away to prevent him nuking Korea.

        Read about it or if youre not into reading listen to the blowback season.
