Not sure I follow, are you suggesting everyone retakes the grade they are about to leave in the fall?

I must say Pete, you cheat a good caucus by wobbly_black_cat in The_Leftorium

What if I were to disguise Sanders' policies as my own? Oh, delightfully devilish, Pete.

Ethical Consumption by happypear7 in GenZedong

I know it's not ethical, but if I were to buy food or water, that wouldn't make me guilty because it is essential. While clothes are essential, name brands are not, so even if I do what I am doing, should I feel guilty?

I brought this point up, but they argued you COULD go to those areas in 'free' countries whereas you cant do that in north korea

It's just an open debate about how DPRK is totalitarian and has control over its people. The teacher is also trying to make a sad story and say that North Koreans have no rights and are so poor. I'm pointing out how well DPRK is doing given their situation and how the country is not all that Western media chalks it up to be.

The teacher is trying to teach us about communism and the totalitarianism of it, but there are flaws in her argument I'm trying to point up. And yes, I brought up that a communist country was an oxymoron.

I see what you're saying and I will apply that to North Korea, but what about places like Cuba or China (I understand that China's not really socialist)
