Everyone, sans Nazis, loathes it.
I think it was Mussolini who said it
Barbarity and violence is all National Socialism can produce
But isn't socialism a left ideal?
Stalinism/Authoritarian Communism is disliked by most on the left
Most people consider tankies traitors
and just don't trust them...
Well, traitors or immature
Besides some anti-sectarians I suppose
But I wouldn't call them a majority at all...
I also like how communism, Islam, and the EU are somehow linked.
or Islam and the LGBTQ+ community...
NatSocs are often spergs and don't understand what fascism is meant to represent
I mean
I fucking loathe most major concepts behind fascism
But I have to admit, they've got a nice aesthetic
I'd hate-fuck a fascist, y'know?
Anyways.
Juche is a form of nationalistic communism, so
It literally translates to "Self-reliance"
Self-reliance is a terrible idea.
Why?
Do you know what that means?
It decreases efficiency and productivity
It means you can live without any outside influence.
While one should have a sufficient amount of resources to become self-reliant within a short time if need be
International trade should be the centerpiece of any economy
Comparative advantages and all that
You don't *have* to live self-reliant, but the ability to be does not have any ill effect.
You'll end up getting more stuff as a result
Peacetime self-reliance is just a negative overall
The USA has no need to trade with the outside world.

They can grow basically any kind of produce, if they managed resources and recycled properly they could theoretically, and I think practically shutter the borders and trade.
Sure, but it's a better idea to trade economically
Having an absolute advantage in everything doesn't mean you'll have a comparative advantage
It's literally impossible to have a comparative advantage in everything
I mean, it's pretty basic economics ngl
