  • Why? IDK coz simple folks can’t leave it

    Thank the UN for that. However, there are plenty of DPRK citizens in Russia and China.

    can’t freely speak like someone owns them

    Please use a source other than fucking defectors who are known for being pathological liars.

    I also find overly subsidized EV production and attempts to flood market

    Tfw producing EVs and selling them (free-market) is now abusive. Commies really beat the capitalists at their own game lmfao. When gomunism no innovation you all laugh. When gomunism brings innovation and tries to compete with the capitalists in their own game, it’s suddenly flooding markets.

    I also find

    You don’t find anything, for you don’t even have a clear opinion on anything. You’re the classical liberal that will believe anything Western media tells them and call out anyone who actually thinks critically as a Russian troll.

    I sympathize. Quite a decent amount of the problems you mentioned were, unfortunately, very real problems and the conditions at the time (siege socialism and whatnot) made it hard to fix. I hope you don’t believe that any sane Communist denies this. Also, yes, those who did try to expose corruption did face problems. Your insights are absolutely helpful to remind us that mistakes can absolutely happen and must be prevented at all costs.

    The first generation of people who lived under Socialism experienced massive improvements in living standards (on a scale never seen before), but as their living standards grew, so did their expectations and demands, which Socialism at the time could not provide; the focus on heavy industry by the Eastern Bloc (to reach military parity with the West) took a giant toll in their economies and light industry and plenty of mistakes from within and heavily exacerbated from external pressure led to the demise of Socialism.

    China has learned from the mistakes of the Eastern Bloc and look where it is now! It’s not perfect and it still has ways to go in some aspects, but despite all this, it shows Socialism isn’t dead and is again a global force.

    Just like talking about the bad things is important, however, we must also recognize what Romania was before the Socialist era: It was an underdeveloped (effectively a third world country) Fascist dictatorship led by Ion Antonescu, a scumbag allied with the Axis.





  • Goldman was the most dovish member of the Zionist movement, directly responsible for the idea of a partition plan during meetings in Paris in 1946 program, as opposed to the Biltmore conference, in which scum like Ben-Gurion exalted the idea of taking over all of Palestine. He was the one who pleaded with the British authorities to accept his plan before they transferred the matter to the UN in mid-late 1947.

    for with a State you have some minimal stability and you can get an army and all other infra structure that they didn’t have before.

    Even before the existence of Israel, there was already effectively an embryonic state, called the Jewish agency, with Ben-Gurion serving both as Minister of Defense and Prime Minister. Its military was called the Hagana, which oversaw many ethnic cleansing operations and countless surveillance and reconnaissance operations, known as the “village files”. Their main money source was the JNF (Jewish monetary fund), which they used to buy plots of land from absentee landlords and to fund their campaigns.

    If the Palestinians also took this into consideration they could, I guess, be far better now.

    Pretty sure that with everything I’ve said before, it disproves this claim. They would NOT be better off and had every right to criticise and denounce a plan that came straight out of the zionists. They had been building settlements and kicking out the native population as early as the mid 1910s, when Palestine was still under Ottoman rule. They also tried to accept Britain’s system of “parity” with the settlers (that in practice favoured the latter), only for the latter to reject it and pave way to the 1929 (and in a way 1936) riots.

    Lastly I highly doubt a Palestinian state could ever exist properly alongside the Zionist entity, as the latter’s existence is predicated on genocide, violence and ethnic cleansing, but I can see where you’re coming from. Hamas supports a 2 state solution (probably as a temporary goal), so that gives me enough of a reason to support it too.

    I might check out your book and I also recommend Ilan Pappe’s “the ethnic cleansing of Palestine”. Genuinely amazing
