@☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ Yeah it’s batshit insanity down there even six years later. Westerners glorify it because Kpop dweebs are the modern weeaboo — the RoK has very successfully exported its culture to the west — but people who actually live there, or even pay attention to the politics, know it’s a shithole.

@☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

But people really hate them and are just begging for a regime change, we promise, let us do a regime change bro

@VladimirLimeMint Lenin was really sex-averse, even for his rather patriarchal upbringing. It led to some pretty bad takes by modern standards but he also may have been an OG ace icon.

Lenin: “Gay sex is counterrevolutionary!”
Modern chud: “Fuck yeah!”
Lenin: “Straight sex is also counterrevolutionary!”
Chud: “Fuck y­— wait what”
Lenin: “If you aren’t putting every ounce of your energy into physically building the revolution, what you are doing is counterrevolutionary!”
Trotsky: “Also the concept of family is bourgeois, and parents should have little to nothing to do with childrearing!”
Lenin: “… okay one tick there bud”

@deathtoreddit username does not at all check out

@blobii lol, what is it?

@Fencer_JP What if I told you they’re the same thing

@ComandanteCapybara I believe it’s the biggest military parade the country has ever had. Also the most international, with the national leaders of the DPRK and Russia also being there.

@Spectre idgaf, rankings are dumb, but you just completely excluded the DPRK.

@eldavi nah, we still absolutely would. Capitalism leads inevitably to fascism.

Very nice! I appreciate the effort you put into changing it.

@acute_kernel_panic What he actually banned was porn, in case anyone was curious. Which I’m always on the fence about, there’s a lot of nuance to it, though it’s true that likely not much good comes out of its proliferation.

@the_q It’s axiomatic. If you want to debate like that, I’m sure Jordan Peterson would be delighted.

@the_q Just because something is socially constructed doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

@BaroqueInMind

@Zachariah Yes, though given he was a soldier and did indeed kill people, I think it speaks more to the inherent worthlessness of private property.

@Ardens Welfare with demands…so like, every welfare state.

@Comrade Ferret The fact that I can say this in a supposedly communist forum and have as many people upvoting it as downvoting it really speaks volumes about how absolutely fucking cooked Lemmy is.

@Archangel1313 > implemented because of capitalism’s failures during the Great Depression

Yes, exactly. People were organizing. Rising up. Capitalism did approve those programs, in order to keep them from doing so. Or do you think that you no longer live under capitalism, because capitalism “would never have approved” welfare?

Socialism is not when you have a welfare state.

@Archangel1313 The welfare state was the capitalist’s answer to working class organization and its victory in the Soviet Union. It was a concession and therefore a means of control. It’s also an alarming sign that capitalism seems to believe it no longer needs it.
