Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?

    it’s not nearly an extreme hellhole like NK

    North Korea is like ten times nicer than Russia, and definitely doesn’t belong on the same list as Taliban-controlled Afghanistan or still-a-warzone Syria, regardless of what you think of their government.

          Yes, and the Earth is flat because you never went to space to confirm it’s a globe. Stupid people don’t know they’re stupid, it’s only a problem for everyone around them. Get help.

            The US government has not funded seventy years of flat earth propaganda which the majority of the population believes without question, so your point is a total non sequitur.

      girl, there are pictures of north koreans gathering GRASS because they don’t have food. And they will kill you or put you in a camp if you try to leave.

              You know what? Fuck you. I’ve got better things to do than argue with tankies who imagine that authoritarian regimes are good just because they have red flags and claim to be communist. Do a service to humanity and yourself, and stay out of political discussion until you’ve aquired some education on these issues.

                The first step is denial, shortly thereafter, anger. I know it’s hard to accept that you’ve been lied to your entire life about something, but doing genuine research on socialist governments is what set me free from my own liberalism and it could do the same for you.

                I’m not talking about watching YouTube videos either, I’m taking about reading books. When you’re ready, I recommend starting with Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.
