Can someone redpill me on DPRNK? Is how the west describes them close to what it's actually like living there or is it bullshit westard propaganda?

Everyone is starving, everyone is in prison, everyone has Kim’s haircut, and even though everyone is starving and in prison they are also a threat somehow

Kim eats all the food

Hello, anons, I'm creating this thread about what where you share some controversial views on have. I have some views that seems to clash with left leaning view and honestly I don't know how to reconcile my leftist views with those controversial views I have, here some topics that clash with leftist tendencies:

>immigration in general
I'm not against immigrants actually, but I do think bring millions of immigrants from very radical different culture is recipe for creating tension and division inside of a country

>genes and behaviors
Yeah, that one is a hard, I think genes play a strong role on human behavior, I actually told that to some leftist in real life and I got shot down by being called "eugenicist", only a gay dude agree with me because he says that he didn't choose to be gay, he was born that way and could see other behavior having gene influencing too

>religion
I don't support religion at all, I think they are reactionary as fuck, especially desert religions like christianity, judaism and islam are especially bad and very very reactionary and should be fought against.

So far as I remember those are to topics that cause me to clash with my leftist tendencies, do you have any opinions and views that you considered to clash with your progressive views?

India, Japan, and Ghana all prove that even if only one giant mixed race existed they would still develop a highly racist caste system with untouchables to discriminate against. Unironically this is woke nonsense because you genuinely believe in it. I believe in white genocide because if the global north is taken over from the inside by migrants directly attacking and raping as praxis and taking electoral office while displacing natives they will put an end to colonialism, but as far as believing it will somehow end racism that's just liberal propaganda we sell people, which is why I'm going to have to ask you to go back as your reasoning sucks.

It's easy to hate the rich, it takes courage to hate poor people. Why do leftists hate men who rise from poverty to the top more than those who are born rich?
8 posts omitted.

>>2589313

Part of the explanation is nouveau riche ideology & lifestyle: It tends to have thoroughly petit-bourgeois individualist outlook, ie. Not recognizing or acknowledging the social and material conditions & forces enabling such rare rapid individual wealth accumulation.

The more "old money upper class" also finds the excessive public displays of opulence to be in very poor taste; Like quasi-prostitutional and very obvious a cue that the person has fallen for window dressing marketing that any truly upper class person is educated to recognize and avoid.

leftism like liberalism are moral systems they "hate the rich"
true socialists see the patterns of exploitation on a larger scale. that exploitation leads to contradictions, the true socialists job is settle to resolve these contradictions not for a moral reason but simply because capitalism is failing

>Why should I give a fuck about some vague moral rights?
Ultimately because you exist in a social context and have to coexist with other human beings by affording them a modicum of respect and common decency. If you want to make edits of people's OCs being put up against the wall by the Cheka nobody can realistically stop you - but they can ostracize you from their social group. If you've got a brain and still can't control your compulsion to do things that piss other people off, you'll appreciate that this is the sort of thing you should do anonymously rather than demanding everyone else accept your social faux pas as moral because there's nothing in Das Kapital about not acting like a moron on the internet.

I do not believe you have seriously read either. You are posturing here for precisely the same socially motivated reasons: "look at me, I am virtuous, I read the approved communist thinkers." "The approved communist thinkers agree that my social status should be elevated and that of artists lowered.", well, no sell. Hegel and Marx would think you are an antisocial little dork.

>ai is bad because it's controlled exclusively by reactionaries so yeah everything should be done to hinder its development

It is uncommon in human history for a technology to be destroyed or forgotten; it is far more common for a technology to remain once invented. On the rare occasions a technology disappears, it is usually due to isolation, collapse, or loss of transmission, rather than deliberate attempts by people to destroy technology and reverse history.

What does Marx say about the Luddites?

<The enormous destruction of machinery that occurred in the English manufacturing districts during the first 15 years of this century, chiefly caused by the employment of the power-loom, and known as the Luddite movement, gave the anti-Jacobin governments of a Sidmouth, a Castlereagh, and the like, a pretext for the most reactionary and forcible measures. It took both time and experience before the workpeople learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and to direct their attacks, not against the material instruments of production, but against the mode in which they are used.

>Technology finally BTFO'ing terrible Copyright laws?

That happened with Napster. What's happening now is more like the Enclosure of the Commons where big IP holders are just claiming the property of smaller IP holders and telling them to just deal with it.

LOOK AT THIS MOTHER FUCKER AND TELL ME THAT HE ISNT WHITE!!! Race obviously is a social construct but despite the fact that Persians have white skin in America they are “Brown” because they are Muslim, the same goes for Kurds, Turks, Azerbaijanis, and Pashtuns. It’s not just Muslims either but it also goes for Spanish speakers, I remember there was an episode of the Simpsons where they were making fun of Fidel Castro and they didn’t color his skin yellow.

Reminder that Marco Polo described East Asians as having the same skin color as he has. Reminder that there was a Japanese immigrant in early 20th century America that almost succesfully won a whiteness debate before an US court to be considered eligible for US citizenship. Reminder that 19th century European scholars were major hinduboos (compareable to modern weeaboos) and thats why the term "Aryan" was adopted for Indo-European languages. Reminder that the Irish are the palest Europeans but were seen as subhumans because of the constant conflicts they had with Anglo-Saxons since the 8th century.

Greeks considered the greek/balkan area to be Europe, they considered 'asian turkey', that is Anatolia, to be 'Asia', and North Africa to be 'Lybia'. They knew of India and China but considered them distinct from 'Asia'.
As for the Germanoid lands, the Greeks simply did not give a fuck about them. The musty anglo racists never faced this reality, they shoehorned themselves as being part of 'Europe', when the Greeks did not even think about them. Inconsequential barbarians.

Artists such as Peter Hacks from East Germany interpreted "abolishing the state" from a Hegelian perspective, in that the state will become so big and all emcompassing that everyone born will be a member of the party, and that is the peak of human archievement

>a perfect state has universal membership
Okay but that is your conjecture, not Peter Hacks. Universal party membership contradicts Hegel’s state theory because the state’s universality is mediated and rational, not totalizing.


>>2588624

you are correct.

But I also heard that in the former Eastern Bloc it was felt that improving the state into perfection was the path towards communism. In my view that seems totalitarian.

>>2588540
Yes but unironically. Nazism needs to be eradicated on a genetic level.

>>2588642

It is indeed totalitarian conceptually.

For a Proletarian Dictatorship to truly triumph, it must come to encompass all of society; Nothing must be outside it or against it.

And it is by this process, as OP hinted at, that the state itself, defined in the Marxist sense as the instrument of class power itself can wither away.

The yet harder pill to swallow is that any totalitarian state almost also itself come to resemble something close to Proletarian Dictatorship. That is to say class collaborationism will never actually achieve what the corporatists say they want it to achieve (comprehensive social harmony analogous to a healthy body); Only something resembling the Dictatorship of the Proletariat can ever hope to lead to anything close to such an outcome.

anarchism was an antisemitic mistake

>no mention of lifetime presidency
because it doesnt use the regular presidency position (where they just added 2 years to give them more time to entrench their power before the next elections), but the newly created senate president position, the senate being unelected, for life, and concentrating ridiculous power

I will post some translated excerpts :
>On the early morning of Saturday, November 15, 2025, with the hasty adoption of a new Constitution under emergency procedures, creating a despotic monarchy, a black veil fell over our beloved homeland.

>We extend our hand to all of you, inviting you to gird your loins, to show heroism and a spirit of sacrifice. We call on you to rise up against despotism to save the homeland, democracy, and a bright future for Benin. Young women and men of Benin, Young people from all corners of our country, Stand up, for the Day of Glory is coming! Forward for the homeland and democracy!

>On the night of December 14 to 15, "our people saw a new constitution imposed on them through violence, maneuvering, pressure, and manipulation of all kinds. " Thus, we are witnessing the advent of a monarchical constitution with "a Senate concentrating in its hands all powers, including those of the people (constituent), legislative, executive, and judicial powers; a Senate made up of unelected people whose members, appointed for life, rule over all the constitutional institutions of the country. There is no other term for this than a despotic monarchy. And when we know that the President of this new institution will be none other than the current President, Patrice Talon, we can clearly see the logic behind it."

>Faced with what appears to be inevitable, I urge all my fellow citizens not to sink into despair… I urge all forces, whether political, social, moral, or religious, committed to democracy, justice, humanity, and the homeland, to unite in a sacred union and use all legal and legitimate means to save the homeland and democracy. Today, the word is sacred union to meet the challenge of tyranny. No to the establishment of a despotic monarchy in Benin! No to the monarchical Constitution!

>Sahel Confederation issues harsh warning after Nigerian aircraft violates Burkinabè airspace amid Benin coup fallout

>Mali’s military government has released a communiqué announcing that a Nigerian EC-130 helicopter was forced to land in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso after entering Burkinabè airspace without authorization on December 8.

>The aircraft carried 11 Nigerian military personnel (2 crew, 9 passengers). An investigation by Burkinabè authorities concluded the craft had no overflight clearance.

>The Sahel Confederation, made up of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, condemned the incursion as a “violation of sovereignty” and announced that all confederal air-defense systems have been placed on maximum alert, with authorization to neutralize any aircraft entering AES (Alliance of Sahel States) airspace without approval.

>The incident occurs as regional forces mobilize around the failed coup attempt in Benin, where Nigeria and France are reported to be conducting military operations.

I work at the chicken producer and my paycheck has measurably gone down this year, they're cutting hours to try to create a higher rate of profit from labor by reducing overtime costs.

By the way we're a strong net exporter of chicken. We import labor for the industry but it's mostly prison laborers and vaguely legal agricultural visas. I can tell you as someone doing the demeaning work you subconsciously think is being exported to third world untermensch that there's no "labor aristocracy" in the fucking chicken plant. But I guess we're not real. The online left will need to be dealt with at some point.

Taiwan’s ban on mainland China app RedNote makes it a top download amid fierce pushback
The island’s interior ministry announced on Thursday it had ordered local telecoms and internet providers to block access to the app, also known as Xiaohongshu, for one year over “rising online fraud cases”. Authorities also cited a “lack of cooperation from its operator in Shanghai”. But the move has unleashed a wave of public criticism, with many accusing Taiwan’s ruling independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of overreach and damaging the island’s reputation for open internet access.

Powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake strikes Japan's northeast
Tsunami warnings were issued for the prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate, and tsunamis from 20 to 70 cm (7 to 27 inches) high were observed at several ports, JMA said. In the early hours of Tuesday the JMA downgraded the warnings to advisories, meaning it now sees lower estimated wave heights and less risk of inundation.

And nobody was surprised. Hamas should just break the agreement and kill the infantry enforcing the "new border", if they stick to the agreement they're only going to get praise for it from Israel's allies once they're dead. They'll be like "omg Israel was totally in the wrong here but that was like 50 years ago guys and Netanyahu isn't in power anymore and it was Netanyahu's dictatorial government that made us do this, wdym move out of the Gaza settlements though I was literally born here?"

>Shapiro's strategy for 2028 White House run starts with 2026
>Shapiro has quietly and methodically tightened his grip on Pennsylvania's Democratic machine in recent months — recruiting key congressional candidates, clearing the field for them and remaking the state party. The moves, insiders say, are designed to maximize Democratic wins while positioning Shapiro as the party's most electable presidential contender.
I can't believe this narcissist really thinks he's got what it takes to run for presidency in '28. Must've drank too much koolaid. Reminder to everyone else not from PA that when he ran for PA Governor in 2022, he was our last governor's AG and was the only candidate the state Dems ran for the primaries. Not even a humor of internal party democracy, just a bureaucratic-bordering-on-feudal line of succession. He's lucky his opponent by the time of the general election was Dominionist psycho Doug Mastriano, whose own campaign Josh boosted with his own excess, unspent campaign funds because he figured Mastriano was an easy opponent. Fuck him.

Who knows? The Dems clearly have more room to degenerate further.
