What countries do you think have democracy?

Because liberal / capitalist dictatorships are not democracies, despite marketing themselves as ones.

The DPRK is a success story, they succeeded in defeating both the Japanese and US imperialists (despite the US killing 1/5 of their citizens), fought the US comprador government to a standstill (which still serves as a US military base and carries out attacks and propaganda against the DPRK), and made it through the incredibly hard period of the 90s (the arduous march) after the fall of the USSR.

Socialism can take on many forms, all of which can’t be divorced from the historical context in which they arose. Other comrades can give some deep dives into the DPRK’s governance system, which can show how it’s far more democratic than the capitalist dictatorship in the south.

We should all admire the DPRK for standing up to the US empire, and debunk the lies told about it first and foremost. Liberals tend to think its mordor or something, when in reality its a country where ppl go to work and live regular lives like any other.

Some introductory de-brainwashing links:

• Is north korea a totalitarian dictatorship? Are they all really required to get the same haircut? A short documentary.
• South Korea boosts reward for defectors to $860k USD.
• Are north korean defectors really paid to lie by the south? A short documentary.
• What is everyday life like? A conversation with a North Korean Citizen.

Many of the liberals below clearly don’t know any small business owners. Petty tyrants can be just as personally vicious as larger capitalists, and both live via theft of labor time.

Many of them also use their children / family as unpaid workers, who they would be happy to throw out of a home for not fulfilling their duties.
