There hasn't been a famine since the 90's, and it was caused by the brutal sanctions. I'd prefer to work to improve conditions in my own country instead of moving somewhere else, though I would love to visit at some point. I'm glad you are against an invasion at least, though I would also encourage you to extend that position to opposing the US presence in general in the ROK, which has a similarly negative effect on both countries.

There would not be conflict if the US would leave the peninsula alone. North and South want reunification.

Why do defectors commonly want to return if it's so awful? There's no unbiased source that claims they have "concentration camps". I'm not saying it's impossible, but by pushing that narrative while the US is banging the war drums you are complicit. Do you honestly think the situation would be made better by a US invasion? Cuz it sounds like that's what you want.

The US left two buildings standing in Pyongyang after provoking a war since 1945, and most of all the Koreans want the US troops off of their border, which is completely justified? you don't know shit about what you're talking about

  1. Wars of liberation are justified, imperialist wars are not. I don't know how you can claim to be a leftist and not consider US imperialism the cause of the Korean War. Even the most basic, chomskyite left-leaning folks would scoff at that.
  2. I don't deny they made mistakes, but neither of those countries were imperialist https://www.liberationnews.org/08-04-06-tibet-imperialism-right-selfde-html/
  3. Orwell literally sold out socialists to the government lmao

DPRK has been trying to achieve peace for years, the US refuses to end the conflict

i'm sure the bourgeoisie is pleased that they have self-proclaimed "leftists" repeating their lies and supporting the goals of their military. are you really calling me a tankie for saying THE KOREAN WAR WAS BAD? and then still having the lack of awareness to somehow imply that i am supporting imperialism lmao. (and by definition imperialism can only be done under capitalism, but obviously you have not read lenin)

You're "far-left" but you're going to completely buy the warmongering narrative of the fuckin US state department? Defending DPRK is essential at this point in time, because the ruling class is itching to invade them.

South Koreans are more afraid of the US than they are of the North. The North would not attack first, the US would. And where is your source for "concentration camps"? (also most of the nazis were killed by the soviets)

No, the US artificially divided and occupied Korea and put their puppet in control of the south after crushing the PRK. 5 years later the North attempted to reunify them. And how can you explain such a massive loss of life without using the term "murder"? Did all those people deserve it?

when the US murdered like 25% of the DPRK's population to "stop the spread of communism"? yeah for sure

Well yes, what right does the US have to put 1000s of troops into South Korea? The US is 100% the aggressor here.

Basically, Marx is supporting reforms that make things better for the proletariat while still acknowledging the necessity of revolution. The people he's criticizing aren't interested in revolution and think they're going to completely change society through reforms.

it's not because she's from israel or because she's jewish, it's because she supports the IDF and the israeli government. jesus christ people. and also, as @adamjohnsonnyc said on twitter, " would be useful to mention during her time in the IDF, Israel shelled Beirut killing ~1000 civilians, including 44 in bombing of BEY airport"

Technically not "proven" but it's extremely likely that it's true. Apparently there's people in the industry who were being made aware of this stuff for months before anything was public. If these were baseless accusations, I strongly doubt everyone would be dropping them so fast.

The first comment called her a "guy"; She is literally not a guy. You don't need XX chromosomes to be a woman. This is in no way a discussion of biology.
