      There’s no support for fascism here, Marxists have in general celebrated when Charlie Kirk got ventilated, for example. The DPRK is socialist, even if there’s room for critique said critique must come from reality, not fantasy. The DPRK is the single most propagandized against state on the planet in the west, and getting accurate information is difficult, leading to its current position where the news can report literally anything and westerners will believe it.

      I think you’d do yourself a great service if you genuinely looked into the DPRK, its history, and how it actually works. Countries like Cuba, Russia, and China maintain strong ties with the DPRK, so there is information you can find from visitors. Plus, the DPRK has good ties to the Palestinian resistance, so there’s other avenues to explore.

      If you genuinely consider yourself anti-Zionist and anti-capitalist, it helps to not take pro-Zionist and pro-Capitalist propaganda at face-value.

      can you show us where the support for fascism is?

      And if you’re just going to say that the DPRK is fascist, what do you consider to be more fascist: an invasion and brutal war against a tiny country that kills 20% of its population, makes the remaining population live underground, relentlessly and indiscriminately bombs the country until there are no targets left; or the country that survives that war and refuses to play by the rules of the colonizers, imperialists, and occupiers who want them to be a capitalist country like the occupied south?

          Sure, no whataboutism then: Why do you think NK is fascist in a vacuum? Why is anything perceptible if all things, at their purest forms, are isolated atomic objects that have no relation to the rest of the world?

            Something about mass starvation for the elites…

            Once again, I am not defending any other governments.

              The DPRK had mass starvation during the Arduous March, a catastrophe caused by disastrous weather and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, combined with intense sanctions from the US. Decades after the Arduous March, food is relatively secure for everyone, even if it’s difficult to grow up in the northern-Korean climate and geography.

                  You said that we support fascism, then you’re saying that there’s mass starvation for the elites and that’s what I assume you mean by fascism. If that’s not what you meant, then what is it that we support that you think is fascism?

                    What? No I didn’t. Your lies only support my argument.

                    Seriously, are you all so detached from reality? Bots maybe?
