        Sorry you prefer to choose between bad and worse every election over reaching concensus in a constituent meeting and then voting to confirm the candidate in an election, but that doesn’t make the dprk’s system less democratic

                Yes, but it is also a thing I only see reddit refugees doing.

                I’ve literally been politically engaged as part of a socialist org for a decade, maybe it is you larping?

                You know, with the tankie thing. You’re doing an excellent McCarthy impression, but I dont think you’re actually on the un-American activities committee.

          Two words: Tienanmen square. If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you’re a POS. And you do.

            The holocaust

            The Bengal famine

            The potato famine

            WW1

            WW2

            The Vietnam war

            The slave trade

            Immigrant concentration camps

            Apartheid/Segregation

            If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you’re a POS

            Imagine thinking the June 4th incident -where around 300 people died, slightly less than half of those people being unarmed PLA soldiers- can be used to condemn a system as large as China while every capitalist country has done much, much worse.

            Hell, say the cultural revolution, say the post-civil-war famine, the way the cpc handled them can reasonably be criticized, and they are, by the current cpc.

                Yeah you’re right, we’ve got to destabilize a country of 1.4 billion people over 300 deaths more than thirty years ago

                Thousands of extrajudicial killings by US police every year? What’s that?
